Picador Caught by a Bull is a 1825 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic moment with horses and riders in the foreground. A bull charges from the left, its horns aimed at a man on a horse who’s holding a spear. Other riders look tense, some leaning forward as if bracing for impact. In the background, a crowd of people on horseback watches the action unfold. The artist used quick, rough lines to show movement and tension. The scene feels urgent and alive, like a snapshot of danger and excitement. Next, look up 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.
