"La Tauromaquia" is a series of 33 prints created by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828), which vividly depict the world of bullfighting, a subject deeply rooted in Spanish culture and tradition. Created between 1815 and 1816, during a period of intense creativity and experimentation for Goya, "La Tauromaquia" explores the history, drama, and spectacle of bullfighting through a variety of scenes, from its legendary origins to the contemporary practices of Goya's time.

Goya, already renowned for his portraits, tapestry cartoons, and social commentary through works like "Los Caprichos" and "The Disasters of War," turned to the theme of tauromaquia (bullfighting) to capture both the brutal reality and the ceremonial grandeur of this popular entertainment. The series showcases Goya's mastery of the aquatint technique, allowing him to achieve remarkable depth, texture, and tonal variations. This was particularly effective in conveying the movement, tension, and emotion of the bullfight, making "La Tauromaquia" not only a significant artistic achievement but also a profound commentary on human nature, violence, and spectacle.

Each print in the series is accompanied by a caption that guides the viewer through the various aspects of bullfighting, from the daring feats of historical figures like Pepe-Hillo and Pedro Romero to the tragic consequences that can befall the participants. Goya's depictions range from the heroic to the grotesque, reflecting his nuanced view of this complex cultural phenomenon. Through "La Tauromaquia," Goya invites contemplation on the nature of entertainment, courage, and mortality, themes that resonate beyond the specific context of bullfighting to touch on universal human experiences.

"La Tauromaquia" remains a pivotal work in the study of Goya's art, offering insights into his technical innovations, his engagement with Spanish identity and tradition, and his profound reflections on the human condition. The series continues to be celebrated for its artistic excellence and its critical, yet empathetic, portrayal of one of Spain's most enduring and controversial traditions.
