{"product_id":"plaza-de-torros-1966","title":"Plaza de Toros, Madrid","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis original 1966 bullfighting poster was created for the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, Madrid’s world-famous arena and the heart of Spanish corrida culture. The artwork, attributed to J. Crof Estrems, captures the drama of the novillada, the traditional event featuring young toreros performing with younger bulls. The painterly style leans into warm earth tones and sweeping brushstrokes, showing the matador in a poised moment of control as the bull lowers its head beneath the red cape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typography below announces a Grandiosa Novillada held on Sunday, May 8, 1966, featuring Josechu Pérez de Mendoza along with García Higares, Emiliano Nuero “El Toledano,” and José Luis Caetano. These detailed billing sections were typical of mid century Spanish bullfighting posters, designed to promote both the toreros and the lineage of the bulls, which in this case included breeders from Salamanca and Évora. The poster would have been hung around Madrid to draw crowds to an event considered both sport and cultural ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosters from Las Ventas remain highly collectible because they reflect Spain’s rich artistic heritage surrounding the corrida. The blend of expressive artwork and precise event text gives each poster a unique personality. This example stands out for its vivid brushwork, clear printing, and strong sense of movement, making it a striking piece of Spanish cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38.0\" x 21.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.
