Matador


This matador (or whatever the French call a matador - this was shot in Nimes, France) stands outside the Amphitheatre in Nimes. The amphitheatre in the background is still used today for bullfights and concerts, despite being almost two thousand years old. Its construction was completed about thirty years after the Colosseum in Rome, so about 100 A.D.

A few of my students admitted to feeling up the matador's backside, as it is well sculpted and firm, but I think that's owing to the bronze and not exercise.
