"La Tauromaquia" is a series of etchings created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1815 and 1816. This collection of 33 prints, with an additional seven that were not published during his lifetime, vividly captures the spectacle, drama, and brutality of bullfighting, a tradition deeply embedded in Spanish culture. Goya, who lived through a period of significant political and social upheaval in Spain, utilized "La Tauromaquia" to explore themes of heroism, violence, and the human condition, reflecting his complex relationship with the sport.

The etchings in "La Tauromaquia" are notable for their dynamic compositions and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, which Goya achieved through his masterful use of aquatint and drypoint techniques. Each print in the series depicts various scenes from the history and practice of bullfighting, ranging from legendary events and figures to contemporary spectacles. Goya's attention to detail and his ability to convey movement and emotion make these works powerful visual narratives that transcend mere documentation.

Goya's personal connection to bullfighting adds another layer of depth to "La Tauromaquia." He was known to be an aficionado of the sport, and his intimate knowledge of its rituals and dangers is evident in the authenticity and immediacy of his depictions. However, Goya's portrayal is not uncritical; the series also reflects his awareness of the inherent violence and the potential for tragedy within the bullring.

"La Tauromaquia" stands as a significant contribution to the art of printmaking and offers valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of early 19th-century Spain. The series has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and continues to be celebrated for its artistic innovation and its poignant commentary on human nature and societal customs.
