{"product_id":"plaza-de-torros-1990-1","title":"Plaza de Toros, Madrid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lithographic poster for Plaza de Toros de Madrid exemplifies the enduring tradition of Spanish corrida promotional art as produced by Litografía Ortega of Valencia. The artwork, signed 'J. Cros Estrems 71' in the lower left, employs the established iconographic formula developed throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries: the juxtaposition of idealized Spanish feminine beauty with the masculine drama of the bullfight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition demonstrates sophisticated spatial arrangement, placing the woman in the immediate foreground as a framing device while the matador and bull occupy the middle ground, with the distinctive architecture of the bullring receding into the background. This tripartite structure creates narrative depth while maintaining decorative flatness characteristic of poster art. The color harmonies, particularly the cool blues of the dress against the warm ochres of the arena, reveal careful chromatic planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe printed text documents an event scheduled for Sunday, August 23, 1981, featuring three espadas and bulls from the ranches of D. Juan Luis and D. Nicolas Fraile y Martin. The presence of the Ortega printer's stamp (number 1739) and full address confirms authenticity and provides documentation of the firm's continued production during Spain's democratic transition period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41.0\" x 20.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.
