Notes: 'La Tauromaquia' is an album of 33 etchings first published by Goya in 1816. Several editions followed, of which the third edition by Loizelet in Paris in 1876 included seven additional plates, inventoried A to G. Goya was almost 70 when he began the plates. He had made 50 preparatory red chalk drawings, which he engraved in two steps: first a few trial proofs taken from the pure etching state, then with aquatint in order to vary lighting and dramatize the scene. He had seen many bullfights growing up and he knew or had seen many great bullfighters. He depicted the exploits of the most famous bullfighters of his time: Pedro Romero, inventor of the classic rules, Ceballos, from Argentina, Martincho, well known for his acrobatics and Pepe Illo, illustrious for his exuberance. Although the set was based on the historical text of Moratin and traced the evolution of bullfighting through the years until 1800, Goya was not concerned with historically accurate depictions of the costumes and settings. He often simplified the compositions so that only the most essential shapes and characters appear. This set of plates have been described by many commentators as the forerunners of impressionism, expressionism and even abstraction
Long after Goya's death the Calografia Nacional of Madrid produced additional editions, starting with a small one in 1855 (on wove) and including a third edition in 1876 (on laid), a seventh in 1937 and 150 sets in 1990. (9)

FOOTNOTE: Isabel Bishop was an American painter and graphic artist who depicted urban scenes of Union Square, New York, from the 1930s to the 1970s. She is best known for her depiction of American women and as a leading member of the Fourteenth Street School of artists. Her prints depicting women in their daily routine on the streets of Manhattan, focus attention on a period of time when American women were transitioning from stay-at-home mothers, to becoming part of the young working class. Her work was greatly influenced by Peter Paul Rubens and other Dutch and Flemish painters that she had discovered during trips to Europe. In 1932, Bishop began showing her work frequently at the newly opened Midtown Galleries, where her work would be represented throughout her career
