Édouard Manet, 1866 - A Matador - fine art print

Original information about the work of art from the museum's website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The matador is the illustrious Cayetano Sanz y Pozas (1821–1890), who Manet saw in action during an 1865 trip to Spain—his only visit, despite a longstanding fascination with seventeenth-century Spanish art. This canvas, the first of the full-length figure paintings that Manet completed after studying the works of Velázquez in Madrid, was made upon his return to France. Unlike the artist’s previous depictions of bullfighters, Cayetano Sanz carries a proper red cape. Manet showed the picture, along with some twenty others on Spanish themes, at his solo exhibition in a pavilion adjacent to the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris.

Choose your art print material option

The product dropdown menu provides you with the opportunity to select your favorite size and material. You can choose among the following product customization options:

• Printed poster on canvas material: Our poster is a UV printed flat canvas with a fine texture on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas print: The canvas print is a printed canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher. A canvas produces the exclusive look of three dimensionality. A canvas print has the advantage of being low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, often referenced as a print on plexiglass, will turn an original work of art into beautiful décor and is a viable alternative option to canvas or dibond fine art prints. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and minor painting details become more recognizeable with the help of the delicate gradation in the picture. Our acrylic glass protects your custom fine art print against sunlight and external influences for between 40-60 years.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with a true effect of depth, creating a fashionable look thanks to a surface structure, which is non-reflective. The white & bright components of the original artpiece shine with a silky gloss, however without the glare.
