"A Mass Bullfight in an Enclosure" is the eighteenth plate from the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" ("Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish"), a collection of engravings that depict various forms of hunting and animal combat. The series was created by the Flemish artist Jan Collaert (1566–1628), who was known for his detailed and dynamic engravings. The plate in question was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Philips Galle) in Amsterdam and is based on a design by the Italian artist Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), who was active during the late Renaissance period.

The engraving portrays the spectacle of a bullfight within an enclosed arena, a subject that reflects the period's fascination with blood sports and public entertainment involving animals. The scene is filled with dramatic tension and captures the chaotic energy of the event, with bulls, matadors, and spectators all depicted in intricate detail. The work is a testament to the technical skill of Jan Collaert as an engraver and to the vivid imagination of Giovanni Stradano as an artist.

The "Venationes" series as a whole is considered an important artistic record of the various forms of hunting and animal entertainment that were popular in Europe during the 16th century. It provides valuable insight into the cultural and social practices of the time, as well as the artistic trends that influenced the depiction of such events. "A Mass Bullfight in an Enclosure" stands as a significant work within this series, offering a glimpse into the historical practice of bullfighting and the broader human-animal relationship during the Renaissance.
