"Buffalo Bulls Fighting in Running Season, Upper Missouri, 1837-39" is a notable painting by the American artist George Catlin, depicting a dramatic scene of two American bison, commonly known as buffalo, engaged in a fierce battle during their mating season. Created between 1837 and 1839, this work is part of Catlin's larger body of work that aimed to document the life and culture of Native American peoples, as well as the natural history of the North American West, during a period of rapid change and encroachment by European settlers.

George Catlin (1796–1872) was a painter, writer, and traveler who dedicated much of his career to recording the disappearing traditions and landscapes of Native American tribes. He is best known for his extensive travels among the Plains Indians of North America and his vivid portraits and scenes that sought to preserve the essence of indigenous cultures.

In "Buffalo Bulls Fighting in Running Season, Upper Missouri," Catlin captures the raw power and vitality of the buffalo, an animal that was central to the life and spirituality of many Plains tribes. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, with the two massive animals locked in combat, their bodies positioned to convey movement and tension. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Upper Missouri landscape, providing a sense of place and context for the confrontation.

This artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its ethnographic and historical value. It serves as a visual record of the buffalo, which were hunted to near extinction in the late 19th century, and reflects the broader themes of Catlin's work: the interplay between humans, animals, and the environment, and the impact of westward expansion on indigenous peoples and the American wilderness.

"Buffalo Bulls Fighting in Running Season, Upper Missouri" is part of Catlin's Indian Gallery, a collection of paintings that toured the United States and Europe, raising awareness about Native American cultures and the changes they faced. Today, Catlin's works are held in various museums and are considered important documents of early American history and art, offering insights into a world that has been irrevocably altered.
