1816
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bullfights: The Spirited Moor Gazul is the First to Fight According to the Rules is a 1816 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A man on horseback holds a spear, aiming at a charging bull. The horse is rearing up, and the bull’s horns are sharp. The scene looks tense and fast-moving, with dark lines showing the animals’ muscles and motion. The artist used bold black lines to make the action pop. This isn’t a calm scene—it’s full of energy and drama. Check out Romanticism to see how artists like this one used emotion and movement in their work.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
