The Picador's Yard (1853) by Manuel Castellano
Educa (Spain) No. 10091, bought in Denmark in 2002.
1.500 pcs, 85 x 60 cm.
Yet another dark winter photo, it looks better in person.
I wonder how many have seen this puzzle before?
Manuel Rodríguez de la Parra Castellano (3 February 1823/26, Madrid - 3 April 1880, Madrid) was a Spanish costumbrista painter and engraver in the Romantic style, known especially for his bullfight scenes. He was also a noted art collector.
In 1856, he won honorable mention at the first National Exhibition of Fine Arts for his painting of the picadors preparing their horses at the old bullring in Madrid (demolished in 1874), which incorporates portraits of many of the period's most popular bullfighters, including Paquiro.
Time is getting closer to my next Camino walk in Spain and hopefully I will be able to upload the rest of my collection before I go.
