Description
An exceptional signed patinated bronze sculpture by acclaimed Mexican sculptor Jorge de la Peña, dated 1980, depicting one of the most dramatic moments of the traditional Spanish bullfight. Capturing the instant a charging bull meets the matador’s sweeping cape, the composition conveys remarkable movement, tension, and balance.
Executed in De la Peña’s expressive sculptural style, the bronze features richly textured surfaces, powerful anatomical modeling, and a dynamic composition that invites appreciation from every angle. The artist’s mastery of motion and form is evident throughout, transforming a fleeting moment into a timeless work of art.
The sculpture is mounted on its original bronze base and accompanied by its original presentation plaque engraved “Jorge de la Peña – Escultor – 1980.” A striking example of late 20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture, this work embodies the cultural significance and artistic drama of the corrida while showcasing De la Peña’s distinctive approach to figurative sculpture.
An impressive statement piece for collectors of Mexican art, sporting art, or museum-quality bronze sculpture.
