We’ve heard of raining cats and dogs, but bulls'! Goya loved to watch bullfights for their festivity and their tragedy. He drew detailed images of their many variations. In this dream-like image, he removed the bulls from the pressures of the ring. Here they float in the air, seemingly as weightless as butterflies.
