Picasso
probably was aware of this adaptation by Ingres. In any event,
Picasso drew from "Victory of Joshua" (108B) for the
fantastic imagery of his (100). Here are the points of reference.
Tempesta will again be listed on the left as the source.
"Victory
of Joshua" "Encre de Chine"
Lines
in the distant landscape = the walls
of the corrida.
The
plume on the helmet on the soldier in the middle = the bull's wound.
The
mane of the horse in the distant left and the wrinkles in the neck =
the swirls of the candlelight.
The
face of this horse = the candle.
The
right arm of the soldier
riding
the above horse = the nose of the girl holding
the
candle.
A
shape under the horse's
mouth
= the girl's hand.
An
arm on the right
holding
a spear = the left hind leg of
Picasso's
horse.
Vertical
lines
under
the above arm = the horse's tail.
The
horse's left and
