Frygtelige begivenheder på de forreste rækker i arenaen i Madrid og borgmesteren i Torrejon's død 1815 - 1816

This etching by Francisco Goya, titled *Frygtelige begivenheder på de forreste rækker i arenaen i Madrid og borgmesteren i Torrejon's død* (Terrible Events in the Front Rows of the Madrid Arena and the Death of the Mayor of Torrejon), is a part of his famous series *The Disasters of War*. Created between 1815 and 1816, the artwork depicts the horrors of the Peninsular War. Goya's signature dark style, characterized by strong contrasts and dramatic imagery, is evident in this print, as a bull charges through a crowd, trampling and goring those in its path. The scene highlights the brutality of war, with the central figure representing the violence and chaos that engulfed Spain during the conflict.
