The figure represents a standing bullfighter at rest with his right hand on his hip whilst his left hand makes as though to hold the cape. He wares the classical suit of many Malaga clay figures: bright blue jacket with toggles and fringes, yellow waistcoat, white shirt and a red tie, black breeches and country boots. / European travellers arrived in Spain in search of the most exotic and folkloric aspects of the country. Their personal vision of Andalusia would be perfectly reflected in these ‘modest’ Malaga clay figures that nonetheless were one of the most relevant productions in Spanish sculpture of the 19th century. Numerous sculptors from Malaga made their works with a specific final customer in mind: the foreign tourists and the bourgeoisie from the cities, anxious to acquire bibelots to decorate their city homes. Among these artists, the family saga Cubero dominated such production throughout all of the 19th century, together with the Gutiérrez de León. This Bullfighter was made by José Cubero Gabardón I, who was in charge of the family workshop following the death of his brother, Miguel, and whose work was widely recognised.

José Álvarez Cubero: A Life in Neoclassical Sculpture

Early Life and Education

Born: 23 April 1768, Priego de Córdoba, Spain.
José Álvarez Cubero began his artistic journey as the son of a stonemason, displaying an early aptitude for drawing and modeling.
He received formal training from the French sculptor Miguel Verdiguier in Cordova and later at the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid.

Career Development & Influences

Royal Patronage: In 1799, King Charles IV awarded Cubero a pension to study art in Paris and Rome – pivotal cities for Neoclassical sculpture.
Influences: While in these artistic hubs, he was profoundly influenced by the works of Antonio Canova, adopting and refining the principles of Neoclassicism.
His early work demonstrated a growing mastery of anatomical detail and classical forms.

Major Works & Artistic Style

“Ganymede” (1804): Executed in Paris, this sculpture brought Cubero immediate acclaim and established his reputation as a leading sculptor.
“Antilochus and Memnon” (1818): Commissioned by Ferdinand VII, this marble group is considered one of his most successful works and now resides in the Museum of Madrid.
Portrait Busts: He also created remarkable portrait busts of prominent figures like Ferdinand VII, Gioacchino Rossini, and the Duchess of Alba, noted for their vigor and fidelity.
“The Defence of Zaragoza” (1823): A significant work depicting a heroic scene from Spanish history.

Political Challenges & Later Life

Imprisonment: Cubero’s refusal to acknowledge Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain led to his imprisonment in Rome, demonstrating his strong patriotic convictions.
Following his release, he briefly worked for Napoleon I decorating the Quirinal Palace.
Court Sculptor: In 1816, he was appointed court sculptor to Ferdinand VII, solidifying his position within Spanish artistic circles.
Upon returning to Madrid, Cubero dedicated himself to teaching at the Academy of San Fernando.
