''The Bullfight'' (1864-65) is a painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, showcasing his interest in the themes of Spanish culture and the spectacle of bullfighting, which he witnessed during his travels to Spain. The work is a significant example of Manet's early forays into Realism, a movement that sought to depict subjects truthfully without idealization.

The painting measures 48 x 60.5 cm and is part of a series of works by Manet that were inspired by his Spanish sojourns. It captures the dramatic climax of a bullfight, a moment of confrontation between the matador and the bull. Manet's depiction is notable for its candid and unglamorized portrayal of the event, focusing on the raw emotion and brutality of the scene rather than a romanticized version of the popular entertainment.

In ''The Bullfight'', Manet employs a palette of deep reds and earth tones to convey the intensity and violence of the bullfight. The composition is dynamic, with the figures of the bull and matador positioned in a way that suggests movement and tension. The crowd in the background is rendered with loose brushstrokes, indicative of Manet's impressionistic tendencies that would become more pronounced in his later works.

The painting is a testament to Manet's skill in handling complex compositions and his ability to evoke a visceral response from the viewer. It also reflects the influence of Spanish art on Manet, particularly the works of Diego Velázquez and Francisco Goya, whose treatment of similar subjects provided a point of reference for Manet's own interpretations.

''The Bullfight'' is held in the collection of the Frick Collection in New York City, where it continues to be an important piece for the study of Manet's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century European art. The work has been analyzed for its technique, its place within Manet's body of work, and its cultural significance in relation to the representation of Spanish customs and the spectacle of bullfighting in art.
