"Dempsey and Firpo," also known as "Dempsey Through the Ropes" or "Brodie's Revenge," is a notable 1924 painting by the American artist George Wesley Bellows. The artwork captures a dramatic moment from the heavyweight championship boxing match between American boxer Jack Dempsey and his Argentine rival Luis Ángel Firpo. The fight took place on September 14, 1923, at the Polo Grounds in New York City and is remembered as one of the most exciting bouts in boxing history.

Bellows, who was part of the Ashcan School—an artistic movement that focused on portraying scenes of daily life in New York City—was known for his fascination with the raw energy and violence of boxing. In "Dempsey and Firpo," he depicts the sensational moment when Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring in the first round, although Dempsey later returned to the ring and won the fight by a knockout in the second round.

The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, vigorous brushwork, and the intense emotion conveyed through the figures' expressions and movements. Bellows's use of color and light emphasizes the contrast between the fighters and the crowd, drawing the viewer's attention to the central action. The work is considered an iconic representation of the sport and an important example of early 20th-century American art.

"Dempsey and Firpo" is held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. It remains a significant cultural artifact, not only for its artistic merit but also for its depiction of a historic sporting event that has continued to captivate audiences for nearly a century.
