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]
