Plaza de Toros de Sevilla

This commanding bullfighting poster from the Plaza de Toros de Sevilla captures the electric drama of Spain's most celebrated April Fair season. Painted by J. Cros Estrems, the composition showcases a matador in resplendent gold and blue traje de luces executing a breathtakingly close pass as a powerful bull charges past, banderillas planted in its shoulders.The poster announces twelve corridas featuring the era's most legendary toreros: Curro Romero, the mercurial Sevillian idol; Paco Camino, known for his elegant classical style; Antonio Ordóñez, immortalized in Hemingway's writings; and the courageous Jaime Ostos among others. Printed by the renowned Ortega lithographic house of Valencia, the piece maintains the rich earth tones and dramatic intensity that define traditional Spanish tauromachy art.A significant document of late 1960s Andalusian culture, this poster brings the spectacle and passion of La Maestranza, considered the cathedral of bullfighting, into any collection. The authentic legal deposit stamp confirms its provenance as genuine Spanish printing from this golden era of the corrida.Size: 36.0" x 20.0"Artist: J.
