Dempsey and Firpo (sometimes referred to as Dempsey Through The Ropes[1]) is an oil-on-canvas painting executed in 1923–1924 by the American artist George Bellows. It depicts the September 14, 1923, boxing match between American Jack Dempsey and Argentine Luis Firpo. It has become Bellows' most famous boxing painting.[2] The work has been in the collection of the Whitney Museum of Art since the museum's opening in 1931.[3]
The painting
The painting depicts the dramatic moment when Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring, despite the fact that Dempsey was the eventual winner that night. Bellows gave himself a cameo as the balding man at the extreme left of the picture.[4] The work is painted in the style of the Ashcan School movement.
In popular culture
The painting is referenced in The Simpsons episode "The Homer They Fall" during a montage of Homer Simpson winning boxing matches, where he and Moe Syzlak taking the poses of respectively Firpo and the referee.[5]
The painting can be seen in the 1990 film Goodfellas, where it is visible behind Jimmy Conway on the wall of Neirs Tavern during Tommy DeVito's recount of a mob hit, the scene before Maury is "whacked".[6] With some calling it the most "the most influential sports painting ever."[7]
Artist Eric Joyner reinterpreted the painting portraying two robots fighting in a painting called "The final blow".[8][9] This version can be seen as a decoration in the setting of the TV series The Big Bang Theory.[10]
The New Yorker cover for the February 7, 2022, issue recasts the fighters as hockey players.[11]
In Rocky the painting or a print of it can be seen in Rocky's apartment.
