Antonio Ordonez
, a leading bullfighter in the 1950's and the last survivor of the dueling matadors chronicled by Hemingway in ''The Dangerous Summer,''
Mr. Ordonez, who was widely considered the top bullfighter of his day for his impeccable and daring capework, was the son of another famous matador, Cayetano Ordonez, whose exploits Hemingway depicted in his 1926 novel ''The Sun Also Rises.''
Antonio Ordonez, who also became a close friend of Orson Welles, married Carmen Dominguin, the sister of his chief rival, Luis Miguel Dominguin, in 1953.
Mr. Ordonez and Mr. Dominguin traveled together from one Spanish ring to the next in the summer of 1959, with Hemingway in tow, fighting bulls before rapt audiences. Hemingway's book seemed to favor Mr. Ordonez over Mr. Dominguin, who died in 1996 at age 69.
''Antonio's first bull came out and he took him with the cape as though he were inventing bullfighting and it was going to be absolutely perfect from the start,'' Hemingway wrote about a fight in the southern city of Malaga in 1959. ''It was how he fought all summer.''

''That day in Malaga, he surpassed himself again and he made poetry of movement with the hunting, seeking, pressing mass of the bull.''
Mr. Ordonez's style also captivated Welles, and their friendship was so close that after Welles's death in 1985, his ashes were scattered in 1987 at Mr. Ordonez's ranch in Ronda.
Antonio Ordonez was born in Ronda, a southern town with deep bullfighting roots. His family moved to Seville when he was 6. He began fighting bulls in 1948. In 1951, he took the ''alternativa,'' the test in the bullring to become a full-fledged matador, who would face the oldest, largest and fiercest bulls.
By his retirement in 1971, he had appeared in more than 1,000 bullfights, killing more than 2,000 bulls. He was gored in the ring at least eight times during the 1950's, his peak decade, although his fame and deft technique kept him as a top-billed fighter through the first half of the 1960's.
Mr. Ordonez also fought in Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico, but perhaps the warmest praise came from his fellow Spaniards.
''Antonio Ordonez is a natural bullfighter,'' wrote Jose Maria de Cossio in his 1967 edition of ''The Bulls, a Technical and Historical Treatment,'' considered the authoritative encyclopedia on bullfighting. ''Nothing violent, forced or superfluous in his style. He practices bullfighting with a perfection, a charm or severity -- his art is at once joyful and deep -- that touches on the miraculous.''
Luis Miguel Dominguin
Dominguin, a leading bullfighter in the 1940's and 50's who was a close friend of Picasso, a lover of Ava Gardner and a dueling matador featured by Ernest Hemingway in "The Dangerous Summer,"
Born Luis Miguel Gonzalez Lucas in Madrid, he adopted his father's bullfighting nickname, Dominguin.
He had already achieved great renown before "The Dangerous Summer" of 1959, when he and his brother-in-law, Antonio Ordonez, fought the series of bullfights chronicled by Hemingway, a contest for popular acclaim as the world's top toreador.
As Hemingway explained: "Bullfighting is worthless without rivalry. But with two great bullfighters, it becomes a deadly rivalry" that can force a matador to push beyond his abilities until he is injured or killed.
The brother-in-law won. And indeed, later in the summer, Dominguin was gored during a routine pass.
But in his heyday, Dominguin's fame opened other avenues of adventure.
Continue reading the main story
He carried on a highly publicized romance with Ava Gardner and was photographed with her in 1954, the same year he married an Italian actress, Lucia Bose, with whom he had three children.
Picasso was the godfather of their youngest child, Paola, and the family regularly visited the artist at his home in France. The bullfighter's fame was credited for the fact that even though Picasso was considered an enemy of the state by the dictator Francisco Franco, Dominguin could make these visits and return to Spain without incident.
Born on Dec. 9, 1926, Dominguin first appeared as a junior bullfighter at age 11 in Lisbon. He was rarely far from the ring for the next two decades.
In 1941, in Bogota, Colombia, he became a full-fledged matador, permitting him to face the largest bulls, in a fight known in Spanish as the alternativa. But the test was considered invalid in Spain, where he had to repeat the process in 1942, when he was still in his mid-teens.
At age 20, he was on the fight card on Aug. 28, 1947, in Linares, Spain, when the greatest bullfighter of the day, Manolete, was gored and died.
Two years later, in the Madrid bullring, Dominguin thrust his right arm in the air and raised his right index finger, claiming the throne for himself as the new No. 1 bullfighter. The gesture set off sharp debate among aficionados.
"He had a style of attracting attention like some actors on stage who captivate the audience even if they don't say a word," said Jose Carlos Arevalo, editor of 6 Toros 6, a weekly bullfighting magazine in Madrid.
In Hemingway's words: "Luis Miguel was a charmer -- dark, tall, no hips, just a touch too long in the neck for a bullfighter, with a grave mocking face that went from professional disdain to easy laughter."
Domiguin continued fighting regularly in Spain until the early 1950's. His career then shifted to Latin America, but he returned to the Spanish ring in the late 1950's, setting up the rivalry with Antonio Ordonez, a younger man who had married Dominguin's sister.
Dominguin "would consider himself a bigger draw at the gate" because of his fame, Hemingway wrote in "The Dangerous Summer," which grew out of a reporting assignment for Life magazine. But Ordonez "would consider very strongly that he was a better matador," he added.
Hemingway and most Spanish aficionados agreed with Ordonez, and Dominguin retired shortly thereafter.
Hemingway wrote that he was unmoved by Dominguin's style of cape work in the ring. But he also expressed great respect for the matador: "He was proud without being arrogant, tranquil, at ease in the ring at all times and in full control of everything that went on.
"It was a pleasure to see him direct the fight and to watch his intelligence at work. He had the complete and respectful concentration on his work which marks all great artists."
Hemingway also praised Dominguin's "reflexes, his tremendous repertoire of passes and his encyclopedic knowledge of bulls."
Unlike some bullfighters, Dominguin also regularly served as his own banderillero, the fighter who plunges sharp sticks into the bull's back before the matador steps into the ring with the red cape and sword for the final passes and the kill.
Dominguin returned to the ring in 1971 at 44, quite old for a bullfighter. His last fight was on Sept. 12, 1973, in Barcelona.
