This original poster, a work by the great master Carlos Ruano Llopis, is an exceptional testament to 20th-century bullfighting art. With an unmistakable style, Ruano Llopis created a canon for bullfighting posters that his disciples would emulate for decades.
The composition, with its splendid chromatic palette, fuses realism with a glamorous air. In the foreground, a deeply elegant Andalusian woman is adorned with a black lace mantilla and a richly embroidered mantón de Manila over her skirt. In the background, the celebrated matador Manuel Rodríguez “Manolete” performs a pase natural, capturing the essence of the Spanish national festivity.
The poster has a unique historical value: despite Manolete’s tragic death months earlier, the Ortega, Valencia, printing press continued to use the design with his image to advertise other bullfights, a fact that makes this a fascinating piece.
A certified authentic work of art with immense cultural and historical value. It is ideal for those looking for a décor element with an unforgettable story.
