From LinkedCulture
A man is airborne, caught mid-flight by a charging bull, his dark costume twisting against the smoky grey of the arena. This is plate 8 from Goya's La Tauromaquia, an engraving series first published in Spain in 1816 and reprinted in 1876. Two white-clad assistants rush in behind him, one arm raised in desperation. Goya used this series to treat the bullring not as spectacle but as a stage for raw human vulnerability.
