{"product_id":"plaza-de-torros-1990","title":"Plaza de Toros, Madrid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis magnificent bullfighting poster for the Plaza de Toros de Madrid showcases the timeless artistry of Carlos Ruano Llopis, Spain's most celebrated painter of taurine subjects. Printed by Litografía Ortega of Valencia, a firm that has produced bullfighting posters since 1787, the design features Ruano Llopis's signature composition: an ornamental vignette of festive Spanish life framed by cascading roses, with two elegantly dressed women in traditional attire occupying the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poster announces a 'Grandiosa Corrida de Toros' held on a Sunday afternoon in August 1990, featuring six bulls from the renowned Hernández Barrera ranch of Sevilla. Three matadors are billed: José Antonio Carretero, José Pedro Prados 'El Fundi,' and José María Plaza, each accompanied by their cuadrillas of picadores and banderilleros.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA striking example of how traditional Spanish visual culture persisted into the late twentieth century, this poster demonstrates why Ruano Llopis's designs remained the gold standard for bullfighting advertising decades after his death. An essential piece for collectors of Spanish cultural ephemera and taurine art.\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 Carlos Ruano Llopis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
