During the Corrida des vendanges in Arles, 1959, matador Antonio Ordonez stands before a bull in a moment of tense stillness. Dressed in an ornate suit of lights, his head bowed, he holds the muleta as the focus of a vast crowd. Among the spectators are Pablo Picasso and his wife Jacqueline, Jean Cocteau, Lucia Bosè, and fellow bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, watching from the sidelines due to injury.
