Context

Since 1862 Manet had already painted several paintings on the theme of bullfighting: The Dead Man, La Corrida, two canvases from the cutting of Episode of a bullfight, Mlle V. en costume d'espada and Le Matador salutant.

On his return from Spain, he declared himself greatly impressed by the spectacle of the bullring, and in a letter to Zacharie Astruc, on September 17, 1865, he declared that he intended: "to put on canvas the rapid aspect of this assemblage many colorful people, without forgetting the dramatic part, picador and horse knocked down, plowed by the horns of the furious bull, and the army of chulos trying to ward off the animal".
