Bullfights: Title Page

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a title page with the words "LA TAUREUMACHIE" prominently displayed at the top, followed by smaller text that reads "RECUEIL DE QUARANTE ESTAMPES INVENTÉES ET GRAVÉES A L'EAU-FORTE PAR DON FRANCISCO GOYA Y LUCIENTES". The page has an off-white background with a slightly darker off-white oval frame in the center containing a portrait of a man wearing a hat. The man in the portrait has dark hair and is dressed in 18th-century attire. Below the portrait, a scene depicts a bullfight: a bull is positioned on the right, a fallen man on the ground in the center, and a man holding a sword on the left. A crowd of onlookers is visible in the background. On either side of the central image, two smaller illustrations are present. The left illustration shows a man holding a cape, while the right illustration depicts a man holding a spear. At the bottom of the page, the text "PARIS LOIZELET, RUE DES BEAUX-ARTS, 12" is printed.
