Goya And Bullfighting

la foto“Temeridad de Martincho en la Plaza de Zaragoza” is the title of this powerful engraving by the great spanish artist Francisco de Goya.
It seems that Goya witnessed in Zaragoza how the famous bullfighter Martincho killed a bull sitting on a chair, with his feet tied and using a hat instead of the Muleta .
This episode probably impressed the artist intensely, because he made several engravings on it.
