Original Description
Walking into the vibrant world of Colección de las principales suertes de una corrida de toros by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle feels like stepping onto a sun-drenched Spanish bullring in the 18th century. This series of gouache and ink drawings captures the dramatic choreography of a bullfight with exquisite precision, blending the energy of the spectacle with Carmontelle’s signature Rococo elegance. A master of theatrical scenes and intimate portraiture, Carmontelle infused his works with fluid lines and delicate washes of color, creating a dynamic sense of movement. As the creator of the transparent (a precursor to the magic lantern), he had an eye for narrative sequencing—evident here in the carefully staged suertes (bullfighting maneuvers). While not as widely recognized as Goya’s Tauromaquia, this collection is a rare gem in art history, offering a refined, almost poetic take on a traditionally violent subject. It bridges the gap between documentary illustration and decorative art, reflecting the Enlightenment’s fascination with ritual and spectacle.
For a striking yet sophisticated display, consider hanging a selection of these works in a study or office with classic wood paneling or neutral-toned walls. The warm ochres, burnt siennas, and soft grays in Carmontelle’s palette pair beautifully with earthy textures like leather-bound books or a walnut desk. Choose frames in gilt or espresso-stained wood to echo the 18th-century aesthetic, and space the pieces in a linear sequence to mimic their storytelling quality. If opting for a single piece as a focal point, a larger mat and a minimalist frame will let the delicate details shine. In a living room, the series could anchor a Spanish or French-inspired decor scheme—think wrought-iron accents, terracotta vases, and velvet upholstery in deep reds or taupes. The ideal size depends on your space: smaller sheets (around 12x18 inches) suit intimate nooks, while a curated grouping makes a bold statement in grander settings.
