Bull Attacked by Dogs is a 1825 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a big bull in the center, surrounded by six dogs attacking it. Two dogs are biting its legs, others are lunging or crawling toward it. In the background, a man in a hat and a group of people stand watching, while two birds fly overhead. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and chaos. The scene looks wild and fast, like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
