The realism of <i>La Tauromaquia</i> and <i>The Bulls of Bordeaux</i> is similarly striking, with remarkably accurate images of bulls and fighters. Each etching appears with the original caption and an English translation. Additional text sheds light on the life and times of the great Spanish master.

Goya's later works took on a darker cast and are considered the precursors to the Expressionist movement.
