From LinkedCulture
In this Goya engraving, a nobleman fights a bull from inside a carriage, a tradition so unusual it would have surprised even frequent arena visitors. The white bull lunges toward the dark carriage while a cloaked figure thrusts a lance outward, and shadowy crowds pack the stands behind them. Made in 1816 and printed in 1876 as part of his Tauromaquia series, this print matters because it preserves a now-vanished form of aristocratic bullfighting that Goya captured with striking dramatic contrast.
