In the sandy arena of Arles, matador Antonio Ordonez is captured in close contact with a charging bull during the Corrida des vendanges in 1959. Dressed in a traditional embroidered suit, he leans over the powerful animal in a blur of motion, his hand on its back as it rushes past. The focused intensity of the moment is observed from the stands by a notable group including Jean Cocteau, Pablo and Jacqueline Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin, and Lucia Bosè.
