The Plaza Mayor itself stands majestically in the background, its architectural splendor serving as a testament to Spain's rich cultural heritage. This bustling square has witnessed countless celebrations and gatherings throughout history, making it an iconic symbol of Spanish urban architecture. In this painting by an anonymous artist from the 17th century, we see a multitude of national figures gathered together to witness this thrilling spectacle. Their animated expressions reflect their excitement and anticipation as they prepare for the bullfight to commence. The bulls themselves are depicted with remarkable detail and precision, highlighting their strength and power.
