Antonio Ordóñez, a leading bullfighter in the 1950's and the last survivor of the dueling matadors chronicled by Hemingway in ''The Dangerous Summer''. Corrida des vendanges à Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In a sandy bullring in Arles, leading matador Antonio Ordóñez stands firm as a bull charges past during the Corrida des vendanges in 1959. Dressed in traditional attire, he guides the powerful animal just inches away with his muleta as an intent crowd watches from the stands. Ordóñez was the last survivor of the dueling matadors chronicled by Hemingway in "The Dangerous Summer," and this particular bullfight was attended by Pablo Picasso.
