Bullfights: The Way in Which the Ancient Spaniards Hunted Bulls on Horseback in the Open Country is a 1816 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a black and white print of a bullfight. A man on horseback is spearing a bull while another man looks on. The scene is set in an open landscape with a cloudy sky. The print is detailed, with visible textures and shading that suggest a dynamic and intense scene. The use of black and white creates a sense of drama and highlights the contrast between the horseman and the bull.
