The Cid Campeador Spearing Another Bull is a 1816 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a man on horseback holding a spear aimed at a charging bull. The rider wears a fancy hat and coat, while the bull has a white patch on its side. The horse is mid-gallop, kicking up dirt as the scene unfolds in a rough, sketchy style. The rider’s pose looks dramatic and tense, like he’s about to strike. This style of quick, dynamic action was popular in Romanticism. Next, check out Romanticism to see how this movement used emotion and movement in art.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
