Description
Title: "El Mismo vuelca un toro en la plaza de Madrid (The Same Man Throws a Bull in the Ring at Madrid)" plate 16 from "Tauromaquia", the set of 33 made for Goya in 1816, ,
etching and aquatint on an antique fine laid paper ,1816, , From the first edition of 1816 (see notes below) before the beveling of the plates.,, ,
Size info: ,sheet: 9 15/16 by 14 in. (254 x 360 mm.) ,plate size: 9 5/8 by 13 3/4 in. (247 x 350 mm.),
Framing: Sold archivally framed as seen in the last photo.,
Literature: Recorded and illustrated in the standard text on Goya's original etchings by Harris 219 III-1, ,
Comments: A full set of 33 impressions in the original portfolio recently sold for just under two million dollars.
Plates such as No. 16 (Martincho vuelca un toro) show a brilliance in concentration, a command of spacing, an unfailing grasp of the mysterious power of a veil of light and shade, that place them at once among the greatest triumphs of art” (Hind, A History of Engraving and Etching, 252, 256).From Harris: "The edition appears to have been very small...This (first) edition is the only one in which the full qualities of the plates can be appreciated. The impressions are extremely fine and are all clean-wiped." (p.307).
An impression with the subtle toning in the sky from careful wiping of the plate to produce plate tone not seen in the later editions.
The Tauromaquia, as it came to be known, is the rarest of Goya's four main intaglio series. Its artistry and understanding of the emotion and beauty of the Spanish bullfight stand out..."
This impression has been compared with the impression from the collection at the Pomona College Museum of Art, which houses a complete set of the first edition. The impression being sold here is consistent in size, ink tones,tonality and paper and the minor imperfections in the aquatint perfectly mirrored in both impressions. ,
