"Dempsey and Firpo" is a renowned painting by the American artist George Wesley Bellows, created in 1924. This dynamic and dramatic work captures the intense moment during the boxing match between American heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey and Argentine challenger Luis Firpo, which took place on September 14, 1923, at the Polo Grounds in New York City. The bout is famously remembered for its second-round action, where Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring, only for Dempsey to climb back in and eventually win the fight by knockout.

Bellows, known for his vivid and energetic depictions of urban life and sporting events, masterfully conveys the raw power and chaotic energy of the match. The painting is characterized by its dramatic composition and use of color, which vividly brings to life the intensity of the moment. Dempsey is depicted mid-air, having been knocked out of the ring by Firpo, while the crowd and other figures react with a mix of shock and excitement. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his dynamic brushwork, enhances the sense of movement and immediacy, making the viewer feel as though they are part of the frenzied scene.

"Dempsey and Firpo" is not only a significant work within Bellows' oeuvre but also a notable piece in the history of American art, reflecting the cultural fascination with boxing and the broader themes of struggle and resilience. The painting is housed in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, where it continues to be celebrated for its artistic excellence and historical significance. Bellows' ability to capture the spirit of the era and the visceral excitement of the sport has cemented "Dempsey and Firpo" as a quintessential representation of early 20th-century American realism.
