Bullfight – Death of the Bull by Édouard Manet

With Bullfight (now known as The Fall of the Bullfighter, Musée d'Orsay) and The Fall of the Picador (watercolour, private collection), it forms part of a series of works painted after Manet's return from Spain.[1] Since 1862 Manet had also already produced several works on bullfighting – two canvases produced by cutting up Episode in a Bullfight (The Dead Man and The Bullfight), Miss V Dressed as a Bullfighter, and The Matador Saluting.[2][3]
