Pass behind

Description of the article « Pass behind »

This painting is a tribute to the bullfighter Miguel Angel Perera. He is shown executing a beautiful pass behind, his specialty. Originally from Extremadura, he made a name from a very young age thanks to his exceptional talent and passion for bullfighting. Throughout his career, Miguel Ángel Perera also distinguished himself by his ability to obtain the indulto (pardon) for several bulls. This practice, which involves pardoning a particularly brave and noble bull, is one of the rarest and most prestigious honors in the world of bullfighting. While the debate on the place of bullfighting in modern society rages on, figures like Miguel Ángel Perera remind us of the cultural and artistic dimension of this practice. His exemplary career and his commitment to his art make him a living symbol of 21st-century Spanish bullfighting.
