Hand-titled by the photographer in black ink, dated in pencil, verso - With photographer’s copyright stamp, notes and catalogue number, verso // Nimeño II, Nîmes by Lucien Clergue, taken in 1980, is a captivating gelatin silver print that captures the intensity of a bullfighting scene. The photograph shows the matador, Nimeño II, in mid-action as he faces the charging bull in the arena at Nîmes. The composition emphasizes the grace and bravery of the matador, dressed in traditional traje de luces, as he leaps with precision, almost appearing weightless. The audience in the background, blurred yet engaged, adds to the drama and intensity of the moment. Hand-titled and dated by Clergue, the print bears the photographer's copyright stamp, further confirming its authenticity and value as a collector’s piece.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
