1816
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bullfights: They Loose Dogs on the Bull is a 1816 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a wild scene with a big bull on the ground, surrounded by dogs biting at its legs. In the background, a person on horseback watches, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The ground looks muddy, and the animals are all tangled up in action. The artist used black ink to create strong contrasts between light and dark, making the movement feel urgent. This style helps show the chaos and danger in the moment. If you like this, check out Romanticism to see how artists used drama and emotion in their work.
