This etching by Francisco Goya, titled "The Same Ceballos, Mounted on Another Bull, Breaks Short Spears in the Ring at Madrid", is one of 33 prints from his series "The Art of Bullfighting." Created between 1814 and 1816, the image depicts a dramatic scene in the bullring. The composition shows Ceballos, a renowned bullfighter, mounted on a bull as he thrusts his lance at another charging bull. The scene is depicted with Goya's characteristic dark and dramatic style, capturing the intensity and danger of the event. This print, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides valuable insights into the popular culture of 19th-century Spain.
