152 Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) – Sketch of Jesus Christ with a Horse and a Bull – Original Lithograph (1959)

This piece belongs to Picasso’s 1959 lithographic explorations, many of which were inspired by the themes of death, ritual, and spectacle. The juxtaposition of sacred imagery with bullfighting scenes creates a potent visual tension, reflecting the artist’s deep engagement with themes of mortality, ritual violence, and Spanish identity.

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is regarded as one of the most revolutionary artists of the 20th century. In the 1950s and 60s, he produced an extraordinary number of lithographs, often working daily with printers in Paris. These works reveal his relentless experimentation and synthesis of classical and modern forms.
