The story of The Dead Toreador
The painting, also called The Dead Man (L'Homme mort), comes from the 1860s, when Manet was strongly influenced by Spanish themes and painters such as Velázquez and Goya. It was originally part of a larger composition, Episode from a Bullfight, shown at the Salon of 1864. Critics compared the figure to A Dead Soldier, then attributed to Velázquez and now in the National Gallery, London.
