La Tauromaquia
''La Tauromaquia'' (''Bullfighting'') is a series of 33 prints created by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya, which was published in 1816. The works of the series depict bullfighting scenes.
==Background==
Goya created ''Tauromaquia'' between 1815 and 1816, at the age of 60, during a break from his famous series ''The Disasters of War''. The ''Disasters of War'' and the ''Caprichos'', the series he had created before, served as visual criticism on subjects concerning war, superstition, and contemporary Spanish society generally, including anticlerical scenes. Because of their sensitive subjects, few people had seen these works during Goya's lifetime.
Bullfighting was not politically sensitive, and was published at the end of 1816 in an edition of 320—for sale individually or in sets—without incident. It did not meet with critical or commercial success.〔Wilson-Bareau, 61, 64, and 67〕 Goya was always charmed by bullfighting, a theme that obviously inspired him, since it was the subject of many of his works: in a self-portrait (1790 - 1795) he depicts himself as in a bullfighter suit; in 1793 he completed a series of eight paintings on tinplate, created for the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, which depicted scenes from bulls' lives from the moment of their birth to the time they enter the bullring; In his series ''Los toros de Burdeos'' (''The Bulls of Bordeaux'') (1825), a series of prints of which Delacroix bought.〔(Edward J. Olszewski - ''Exorcising Goya's "The Family of Charles IV"'', σ. 173 )〕 Indicative of his love for bulls is the fact that he signed one of his letters as ''Francisco de los Toros'' (''Francisco of the Bulls'').〔''Goya'', Rose-Marie & Rainer Hagen, p.10, Taschen〕〔''Francisco Goya'', Evan S. Connell, p.20〕
