Bullfight (Spanish: Suerte de Varas) is an 1824 oil painting by Goya owned since 1992 by the J. Paul Getty Museum. When the museum bought the painting at auction in 1992, it shattered the artist's previous auction record.[1] This piece shows Goya’s favorite form of entertainment: the controversial contest of bullfighting.
