"Bull Attacked by Dogs" is an etching by Spanish artist Francisco Goya, created between 1824 and 1825. The artwork depicts a scene of a bull being attacked by a pack of dogs, with a figure in the background observing the scene. Goya's work is known for its dark and often grotesque imagery, and this etching is no exception. The composition is dynamic, with the animals positioned in a chaotic and violent manner. The bull's powerful form is contrasted with the smaller, more agile dogs, creating a sense of tension and danger. The etching is a testament to Goya's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the raw power of nature.
