Dios se lo pague a vsted (May God Repay You) is a 1804 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a wild scene: a man in a hat and coat clings to a charging bull. He’s holding a guitar, but it’s clear he’s not playing—he’s just hanging on for dear life. The bull’s tail whips in the air, and the whole image feels chaotic, like something out of a nightmare. The artist used sharp lines and dark shading to make everything look rough and urgent. The background is just a plain, empty space, so all the focus stays on the man and the bull. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists like Goya created these intense, textured prints.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
