Bullfight (Manet)

Bullfight (French - Combat de taureau ) is an 1865-1866 painting by Édouard Manet, now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.[1] It was produced after the artist's trip to Spain in 1865 and forms part of his Spanish period (1862-1867).

Admired and backed by Charles Baudelaire[2][3] and Émile Zola,[4] the work was so strongly attacked by other art critics that Manet kept it in is studio until 1872, when the frères Goncourt praised it.
