Julio Aparicio. Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the Arles bullring, 1959, a dramatic moment unfolds during a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso. A large, dark bull with its head lowered stands over a cape on the sand. To the right, matador Julio Aparicio, dressed in an elaborate *traje de luces*, leans forward in a poised stance. Behind him, another matador holds a sword and places a hand on Aparicio's back in a gesture of guidance. Behind the ring's barrier, another bullfighter and several spectators observe the scene with intense focus.
