After the Bullfight

Artist: Mary Cassatt (American, 1844–1926)

Date: 1873

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Mary Cassatt chose a quintessentially Spanish subject, executing this composition of a bullfighter, or torero, in full regalia during an extended stay in Seville. Having trained in Philadelphia and Paris, Cassatt ventured to Spain to study the country’s Renaissance and Baroque works and to follow the path of French avant-garde artists like Édouard Manet. Depicting the performer at a relaxed moment, far removed from the spectacle and violence of the ring, Cassatt omitted narrative detail. Instead, with a modernist sensibility, she focused on the male figure in a casual pose, employing vigorous brushwork and rich pigment to describe the bullfighter’s costume and suggest his characteristic bravado.

Mont-Saint-Michel

Émile Sagot, architect, archaeologist and draughtsman, was also a corresponding inspector of the Historical Monuments Commission in the Côte d'Or. In 1862, while providing drawings to illustrate the collection of Taylor and Nortier's Voyages Pittoresques et Romantiques dans L'ancienne France he visited Mont-Saint-Michel. He tirelessly painted watercolors of the abbey and the village, making detailed plans, elevations, condition of the buildings, restoration projects, architectural and sculptural details. He settled permanently on the island in 1871, perhaps hoping that he would be entrusted with the restoration of the abbey. But the Historical Monuments Commission preferred Édouard Corroyer.

Émile Sagot left the Mont, leaving his drawings with his innkeeper as payment for his boarding.
