From LinkedCulture
Mariano Ceballos did not just fight bulls. He rode one into the ring to fight another. This engraving by Francisco de Goya, from his 1816 Tauromaquia series, captures that extraordinary moment: a rider leaning forward on a dark, lunging bull, lance in hand, as a second bull charges in from the left. Goya's series remains one of the most psychologically intense visual records of Spanish bullfighting ever created.
