"Dempsey and Firpo" is a 1924 painting by American artist George Wesley Bellows, capturing a moment from the heavyweight boxing match between American boxer Jack Dempsey and his Argentine rival Luis Ángel Firpo. The painting is renowned for its dynamic depiction of the dramatic fight that took place on September 14, 1923, at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Bellows, known for his association with the Ashcan School and his vivid portrayals of urban life, brings to life the intensity and movement of the boxing scene with his characteristic vigorous brushwork and keen sense of motion.

The artwork immortalizes the instant when Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring, an event that has become one of the most famous in boxing history. Despite this setback, Dempsey went on to win the match in the second round, retaining his heavyweight title. Bellows' painting captures the energy and chaos of the scene, with Dempsey flying through the ropes and spectators' hands reaching up towards him, blurring the lines between the audience and the action.

Measuring 51 x 63 1/4 inches (129.5 x 160.7 cm), "Dempsey and Firpo" is considered one of Bellows' most important works and a significant piece in the genre of sports painting. The piece is held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Through this work, Bellows not only documents an iconic sporting event but also explores themes of heroism, human struggle, and the spectacle of entertainment in American culture. The painting stands as a testament to Bellows' skill in capturing the spirit of his time and the raw excitement of early 20th-century sports.
