The Bullfight
Artist	Édouard Manet
Year	1864/1865
Medium	oil on canvas
Location	The Frick Collection, New York

The Bullfight (La Corrida) is an 1864-1865 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet, now in the Frick Collection in New York.[1][2] Its dimensions are 48x60.4 cm.[3] Like The Dead Man, it was originally part of a larger composition entitled Episode in a Bullfight. The scene was inspired by a trip that Manet took to Spain in the fall of 1865 for ten days. He described the bullfight he witnessed in a letter to Charles Baudelaire as "one of the finest, most curious and most terrifying sights to be seen."[3]

The cutting

After having recut Épisode, Manet then reworked L'Homme mort, and cut La Corrida in such a way as to keep three bullfighters at the barrier: the first title chosen for this work was Toreros en action.[4] But if he wanted to keep the men on foot, he had to cut almost the entire bull. The artist decided instead to cut off the feet of the bullfighter on the left and trim the crowd in the stands.[5]
