I know only a little bit about art, but almost nothing about Goya. I also know almost zero Spanish. I was able to get the correct response given the cues from the clue.

Now THAT is a superior game show. It places more emphasis on actual smarts in its contestants than just a backlog of trivia knowledge they might possess.
bullfighting?

i really didn't look that up either. is that right? Spain and Tauro....
