The Same Man Throws a Bull in the Ring at Madrid, plate 16 from The Art of Bullfighting Possibly 1814 - 1876

This etching, one of 33 plates from Goya's *The Art of Bullfighting*, captures the dramatic moment a bullfighter wrestles a bull to the ground in the Madrid bullring. Created between 1814 and 1876, this piece is a striking example of Goya's signature style—a dark, graphic realism that contrasts the spectacle of the fight with its inherent danger. *The Same Man Throws a Bull in the Ring at Madrid* showcases Goya's mastery of etching and his keen interest in capturing the raw energy and violence of Spanish culture.
