(Gored Horse)
1950s–1960s

A black and white photo capturing a dramatic moment in a bullfighting arena. A bullfighter in traditional costume is on the ground, seemingly knocked down by the bull, while other matadors and assistants rush to his aid. The audience watches intently from the stands, and the atmosphere is tense with concern for the fallen bullfighter.
