Extra Information:In this picture, A. von Wagner; represents an essentially barbarous incident, which must be characterized as one of the deplorable legacies of the past. The bull-fight is confined nowadays to Spain, where the Plaza de Toros, madrid, is capable of seating about 15,ooo persons,the entrance money being devoted, by some strange irony, to the public hospital; and the Mexico. The principal city spent a lot of money was spent fitting up six bull rings. In ancient days a bull had a fair chance of victory. Men fought with bulls for amusement of the old Egyptians; in Thessaly the entertainment was a favorite one with the Greeks; under the earlier Emperiors, the pastime attracted thousands to the Colosseum in Rome, where, however, the gladiatorial contests were supremely valued. In this fight depicted by Alexander von Wagner, the picador himself dealt the death blow. Artist Biography:Alexander originally Sándor von Wagner was a Hungarian painter. Wagner was born in Pesth. After graduating from the Real-Gymnasium in his hometown at the age of nineteen, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts at Vienna, where he was a student of Henrik Weber. The following year, he switched to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at Munich and was taught by Professor Karl von Piloty from 1856 to 1864. From 1869 to 1910 he was professor in history painting at the Munich Academy. His themes were history paintings and Hungarian life scenes in particular. A portrait of Von Wagner painted by Franz Lachner belongs to the collection of the Gebrüder-Lachner-Museum in Rain since 2003. Among his students were Pál Szinyei Merse, Emil Wiesel, Anton Ažbe, Franciszek Żmurko. Von Wagner died in Munich, where he is buried in the Old Southern Cemeterey. His most famous work is The Chariot Race (now at the Manchester Art Gallery), which he painted for the Vienna Exposition (1873) and then expanded to a larger size for the Columbian Exposition (Chicago Fair) of 1893. The painting depicts the close of a chariot race in the Circus Maximus in Ancient Rome, presided over by Emperor Domitian. Chariot Race was completed in 1882 just two years after the publication of Ben-Hur. The painting depicts the loss of a wheel of a chariot at the height of the race. In the original book the wheel is "crushed", in the painting it is shown intact spinning off to the left. In the painting After the Hunt (1864) Wagner portrayed his wife Bertha von Oldenburg in the circle of an elegant company of hunters, dressed in the historical costumes from the period of Mathias Corvinus. Another famous work was a round panorama of old Rome, titled Das alte Rom mit dem Triumphzuge Kaiser Constantin’s im Jahre 312 n.Chr., which he painted in cooperation with Josef Bühlmann in Munich in 1888. The painting was destroyed, and repainted by Yadegar Asisi in the Leipzig Panometer.
