Disparate: Lluvia de Toros, c. 1820, Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, Spanish, 1746–1828, 9 5/8 × 14 in. ( × cm) (plate), Etching and aquatint, France, 19th century, 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
