Le picador

sketchfab

1975 - A wooden bas-relief measuring 102 cm x 75 cm created by Ismaël Carcédo (born in Madrid on August 4, 1938 - deceased in Orthez on November 5, 2020). Ismaël was a passionate bullfighter. The picador's pikes are supposed to penetrate no more than 8.5 cm into the animal's flesh....but post-mortem veterinary analyses have shown that most of the time they penetrated to 20 cm and sometimes even to 30 cm.
