The Bullfight (La Corrida) is an 1864–1865 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet, now in the Frick Collection in New York. Its dimensions are 48×60.4 cm. 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 for ten days in the fall of 1865. 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."
