Edouard PINGRET (Saint-Quentin 1785 - Paris 1875) Bullfighter Mario Gonzales, standing, holding cape Oil on paper prepared in beige. Titled upper left and lower left on mount Mario Gonzales, torero. Drawing doubled, small tears and minor edge loss. 39.5 x 28.8 cm Our oil on paper is part of a series of the same dimensions, technique and annotations, which Pingret did in Mexico City from 1852 onwards, representing a wide variety of the people Pingret encountered there. Most of his oils on paper are now in the Banamex collection in Mexico City (see Luis Ortiz Macedo, Edouard Pingret, Foment Cultural Banamex, Mexico, 1989, nos. 82-95 to 100-108-109-136 to 143). Mario Gonzales was an active bullfighter in the second half of the 19th century. He is best known for inaugurating Mexico City's "El paseo Nuevo" bullring in 1851, where he fought bulls from the El Cazadero ranch. In 1853, he performed a memorable bullfight before the eyes of the President of the Republic, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, as well as in 1866, when he fought five bulls from the Santin ranch.
