Goya, who had moved to Bordeaux in 1824, utilised the then-novel medium of lithography to capture the chaotic energy of the bullring. Unlike his earlier etched series, the Tauromaquia, these works rely on the soft, tonal qualities of the lithographic crayon to create atmospheric depth and a sense of immediate, visceral action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided between the frenetic activity of the arena floor and the dense, observational crowd surrounding the perimeter. In the centre, several bulls are depicted in various states of motion, some charging and others engaged with the matadors. The figures in the foreground are rendered with a loose, expressive hand, reflecting Goya's late style where form is suggested through shadow and gesture rather than rigid outline. The artist captures the danger inherent in the spectacle, with fallen figures and agitated animals creating a scene of tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work demonstrates Goya's mastery of the lithographic process. He achieves a range of greys through the application of the crayon, allowing for a chiaroscuro effect that draws the eye across the arena. The crowd is depicted as a collective mass, their faces blurred and indistinct, which contrasts with the sharper, more defined figures of the bullfighters and the bulls themselves. This print offers a glimpse into the artist's preoccupation with Spanish cultural traditions, viewed from the distance of his self-imposed exile. It remains a significant example of his late graphic output, showing his ability to adapt to new technologies while maintaining his distinct, unflinching observational style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bird-of-prey-and-merlan-fish-gustave-dore-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBird of Prey and Merlan Fish - Gustave Doré — Gustave Doré\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/combat-of-the-giaour-and-the-pasha-eugene-delacroix\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCombat of the Giaour and the Pasha - Eugène Delacroix — Eugène Delacroix\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58363834761551,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58363883979087,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58363884011855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58363884044623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58363884077391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58363884110159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58363884142927,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58363884175695,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58363884208463,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58363884241231,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58363884273999,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58363884306767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Diversi-n-de-Espa-a_Poster_CompositorV1_1785594186796.jpg?v=1785596244"},{"product_id":"grande-hazana-con-muertos-francisco-jose-de-goya-y-lucientes","title":"Grande hazaña!

The series documents the brutality of the Peninsular War between Spain and Napoleonic France, as well as the subsequent famine in Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this specific composition, Goya depicts the aftermath of a violent encounter. The scene shows the mutilated bodies of three men, their limbs severed and hung from a tree like butchered livestock. The title, which translates to 'Great feat! With dead men!', serves as a biting commentary on the dehumanisation inherent in conflict. By juxtaposing the term 'heroic' with the grotesque reality of the scene, Goya exposes the grim absurdity of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical execution relies on a combination of etching and drypoint. Goya uses sharp, biting lines to define the contorted forms of the corpses, while the background remains relatively sparse to focus the viewer on the central horror. The stark contrast between the white paper and the dark, etched lines creates a sense of immediate, visceral discomfort. Unlike traditional war art that glorifies the victor or the fallen, this work presents the raw, unvarnished consequences of violence. It is a document of human suffering, stripped of any patriotic or religious veneer. The figures are rendered with a brutal honesty that avoids sentimentality, forcing an engagement with the reality of the conflict. This print remains a stark observation of the cruelty that individuals inflict upon one another during times of political and social upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mariano-ceballos-rijdend-op-een-stier-francisco-de-goya\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMariano Ceballos rijdend op een stier - Francisco de Goya — Francisco Goya\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-grand-duchess-olga-nikolaevna-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna - Karl Bryullov — Karl Bryullov\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58365015687503,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58365033939279,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58365033972047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58365034004815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58365034037583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58365034070351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58365034103119,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58365034135887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58365034168655,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58365034201423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58365034234191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58365034266959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Grande-haza-a-Con-muertos-_Poster_CompositorV1_1785601345344.jpg?v=1785603460"},{"product_id":"otras-leyes-por-el-pueblo-francisco-jose-de-goya-y-lucientes","title":"Otras leyes por el pueblo - Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting etching from Goya's Los Disparates series, depicting a group of figures presenting a scroll to a solitary elephant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtras leyes por el pueblo (Other Rules for the People) is a plate from the series Los Disparates, also known as Los Proverbios. Francisco Goya produced these works during his final years in Spain, a period marked by political instability and personal isolation. The series is noted for its enigmatic, often dark, and dreamlike imagery, which departs from the more direct social commentary found in his earlier series, such as Los Caprichos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this composition, a group of figures in traditional, perhaps ecclesiastical or scholarly, attire stands to the left. They hold a scroll or tablet, seemingly presenting it to a large, solitary elephant that occupies the right side of the frame. The contrast between the human figures and the animal is stark. The elephant, rendered with heavy, textured lines, appears indifferent or perhaps bewildered by the document presented to it. The use of aquatint creates a moody, atmospheric shadow that envelops the scene, focusing the viewer's attention on the interaction between the figures and the beast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoya employs a masterful use of light and shadow to create a sense of unease. The figures are illuminated by a source that leaves the background in darkness, suggesting a stage-like setting. The print invites multiple interpretations, ranging from political allegory regarding the absurdity of governance to philosophical reflections on the nature of authority and the irrationality of human institutions. The technical execution, particularly the combination of etching and aquatint, allows for a wide range of tonal values, from the deep blacks of the elephant's hide to the subtle greys of the ground. This print remains a compelling example of Goya's late graphic work, demonstrating his ability to convey complex, often unsettling ideas through visual metaphor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mariano-ceballos-rijdend-op-een-stier-francisco-de-goya\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMariano Ceballos rijdend op een stier - Francisco de Goya — Francisco Goya\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-grand-duchess-olga-nikolaevna-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna - Karl Bryullov — Karl Bryullov\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58365063102799,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58365073293647,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58365073326415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58365073359183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58365073391951,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58365073424719,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58365073457487,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58365073490255,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58365073523023,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58365073555791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58365073588559,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58365073621327,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Otras-leyes-por-el-pueblo_Poster_CompositorV1_1785604173937.jpg?v=1785604939"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/francisco-jose-de-goya-y-lucientes.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
