Сorrida 1860

"Сorrida" (1860) by Gustave Doré depicts the dramatic moment of a bullfight. The scene is teeming with energy, the bull charging forward, as a matador on horseback confronts it. Doré's powerful use of line and detail brings to life the spectacle of the bullfight, a popular subject in 19th century art. The crowded arena, the tense faces of the onlookers, and the fierce energy of the bull create a powerful sense of drama.
