Fireplace plate with chimney pot. Cast iron. Spain, early 20th century. A rectangular cast iron fireplace surround decorated with reliefs on the front. The upper section features a composition of leaves flanking a plain shield, extending along the sides and lower section with a series of lines and more leaves of classical influence at the corners. The front depicts a figurative bullfighting scene, with a picador (or lancer) spearing a bull, which charges the horse he is riding. This type of piece was already used in the Gothic period, and outstanding examples survive, such as the one bearing the Imperial coat of arms of Charles V (dated 16th century; Lázaro Galdiano Museum, Madrid). While heraldry is considered by some experts to be the most unusual decoration on these objects, pieces with mythological or pastoral scenes, architectural elements, religious motifs, and other motifs have also come down to us. This particular piece, in addition to its interesting decoration and historical value in the study of bullfighting, is noteworthy for the quality and depth of its reliefs.

Collection of engravings. “Goya’s Bullfighting”. Special edition directed by Antonio de Horna. 1815-1983. Madrid, Culture and Art Collection, De Horna Publishers. 39 plates. Antonio de Horna directed this compilation of the series of engravings from Francisco de Goya's (1746-1828) *La Tauromaquia*, composed of 39 engravings and first published in 1816, along with eleven other prints considered "unpublished" because they did not appear in that first edition. It seems he intended to illustrate passages from Nicolás Fernández de Moratín's 1777 work, *Carta histórica sobre el origen y progreso de las corridas de toros en España* (Historical Letter on the Origin and Progress of Bullfighting in Spain), to which he added personal recollections and some famous bullfighting incidents from the painter's time.
