"Dempsey and Firpo" is a renowned painting by the American artist George Wesley Bellows, created in 1924. This dynamic and dramatic work captures a pivotal moment in 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 intense and chaotic action, particularly the moment when Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring in the first round, a scene vividly immortalized by Bellows in his painting.

Bellows, known for his powerful and energetic depictions of urban life and sports, employs a vigorous and expressive style in "Dempsey and Firpo." The painting is characterized by its bold use of color, dynamic composition, and dramatic lighting, which together convey the raw energy and physicality of the boxing match. The central focus of the painting is the dramatic moment when Dempsey is sent sprawling through the ropes, with Firpo standing triumphantly in the ring. The spectators' faces, rendered with a mix of excitement and shock, add to the overall sense of immediacy and intensity.

"Dempsey and Firpo" is not only a significant work within Bellows' oeuvre but also an important 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 merit and historical significance. Bellows' ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment in sports history has cemented "Dempsey and Firpo" as a quintessential example of early 20th-century American realism.
