EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "They loose dogs on the bull" is a powerful depiction of the intense world of bullfighting. Created by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes in 1816, this artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing dramatic moments. In this particular scene, we witness a pivotal moment in a bullfight as fierce dogs are unleashed upon the charging bull. The tension is palpable as the matador bravely faces off against his formidable opponent while other figures involved in the spectacle observe from a distance. Goya's masterful use of lines and shading adds depth and movement to the composition, making it come alive before our eyes. The image evokes conflicting emotions - admiration for the bravery displayed by both human and animal participants, but also concern for their well-being. It serves as a reminder that bullfighting is not merely an art form but also a dangerous pursuit where injury or even death can occur. Goya's work often delves into themes of violence and suffering, reflecting his critical perspective on society. Through this print, he invites us to contemplate deeper questions about tradition, entertainment, and humanity's relationship with animals. "They loose dogs on the bull" stands as an enduring testament to Goya's artistic genius and continues to captivate viewers with its raw energy centuries after its creation.
