1824, Francisco de Goya, Bullfight, Suerte de Varas -- Getty Museum (Los Angeles)

From the museum label: This painting, which takes its title from one of the stages in a bullfight, focuses on the confrontation between a grimly determined picador, his terrified horse, and a besieged bull, noble in its staunch resistance. In this late treatment of a lifelong theme, Goya conveyed his passion for the ritualized drama of the sport.
