''Colección de las principales suertes de una corrida de toros'' is a series of illustrations by the French artist Louis Carrogis, commonly known as Carmontelle (1717–1806). Created in the 18th century, this collection depicts various scenes and key moments from a traditional Spanish bullfight, or ''corrida de toros''. Carmontelle was primarily recognized as a landscape designer, watercolorist, and creator of transparents, but he was also known for his work as an event organizer for the French aristocracy, which often showcased his interest in diverse cultural practices.

The ''Colección de las principales suertes de una corrida de toros'' stands out as a significant work in Carmontelle's oeuvre due to its subject matter, which diverges from his more typical French and pastoral themes. The collection provides a visual narrative of bullfighting, capturing the drama and ceremony of the event, which was a popular entertainment in Spain and had a certain exotic appeal to European audiences of the time.

Each illustration in the series focuses on a different ''suerte'' or stage of the bullfight, from the initial parade (''paseíllo'') to the various performances of the bullfighters (''toreros''), including the matador's final kill (''estocada''). Carmontelle's attention to detail not only reflects the spectacle of the bullfight but also serves as a historical document, offering insights into the costumes, customs, and social aspects of 18th-century Spanish bullfighting.

The ''Colección de las principales suertes de una corrida de toros'' is an important cultural artifact that provides a unique perspective on the bullfighting tradition from a non-Spanish artist. It is a testament to the cross-cultural fascination with this controversial spectacle and contributes to the understanding of European perceptions of Spanish culture during the Enlightenment period.

Carmontelle's work is preserved in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of cultural exchange between France and Spain, as well as within the broader scope of European art history. The ''Colección de las principales suertes de una corrida de toros'' remains an intriguing example of Carmontelle's artistic range and his ability to capture the essence of a cultural practice foreign to his own experiences.
