Juanito Apiñanis smidighed og vovemod i arenaen i Madrid 1815 - 1816

This etching by Francisco Goya, titled "Juanito Apiñanis smidighed og vovemod i arenaen i Madrid," depicts a bullfight scene. Created between 1815 and 1816, it showcases Goya's masterful use of line and detail to capture the drama and danger of the event. The bull, charging forward, is contrasted with the agility of the matador, Juanito Apiñanis, who deftly evades the attack while holding a pole. The crowd's presence in the background adds to the scene's energy and spectacle, reflecting the popularity of bullfighting during Goya's time. This work is an example of Goya's fascination with the darker side of human nature and his unflinching portrayal of the brutality of the bullfight.
