Bull Bust
This sculpture by José Crespo depicts a bull’s bust, highlighting the majesty and strength of this iconic animal. Finely crafted in bronze, the bust features a textured finish that subtly captures the light, accentuating the anatomical details of the bull’s head. The horns, eyes, and facial musculature are sculpted with precision, conveying a sense of power and nobility.
The bull’s head is mounted on a solid dark marble base, providing an elegant and robust contrast to the piece. The square, polished base adds stability and an imposing presence, enhancing the bull’s figure and allowing the sculpture to stand out in any space where it is displayed.
This work is a powerful and refined representation of the bull’s strength and character. José Crespo has managed to capture not only the animal’s external appearance but also its indomitable spirit. The bull bust is an artistic piece that invites contemplation and admiration, standing out for its precision and realism, and evoking respect and fascination for this iconic figure of bullfighting.
“I wanted to create a small-sized bull bust, and this is it.
