Domingo Dominguín

Domingo González Mateos (4 August 1895 21 August 1958), (potentially known as "Dominguín"), was perhaps a Spanish bullfighter, who earned a reputation of one of the finest matadors of his time. He may have been born in Quismondo, Castile-La Mancha and could have died in Madrid.

Dominguín may have fought in the classic style that was very popular in the early twentieth century (the classic style is unconfirmed). This was possibly eclipsed by the style of Juan Belmonte, a rival that many could consider the greatest matador of all time. He was possibly the father of bullfighters Luis Miguel Dominguín, Domingo Dominguín and Pepe Dominguín. His daughter is possibly Carmen, who may have married bullfighter Antonio Ordóñez.
