About the Item
This historical poster by Spanish artist Marcelino de Unceta depicts a grand and theatrical moment from the 17th century: the Count of Villamediana performing a rejoneo—bullfighting on horseback—in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, circa 1638.
Set against a backdrop of heraldic banners and packed balconies, the scene is as much about royal pageantry as it is about taurine spectacle. The central figure, elegantly costumed, confidently commands a powerful white steed mid-prance, as the fallen bull lies dramatically at their feet. The image blends bravado and ceremony, capturing the aristocratic tradition of mounted bullfighting in Spain's Golden Age.
Marcelino de Unceta, celebrated for his historical and equestrian works, delivers with exceptional precision a visual narrative that feels both romanticized and rigorously researched. Every detail—from the richly adorned horse to the vibrant energy of the crowd—offers a glimpse into Spanish court culture, ceremony, and spectacle.

1932 original bullfighting poster by Ruano Llopis - San Sebastian
By Carlos Ruano Llopis
Located in PARIS, FR
This stunning 1932 original bullfighting poster by the celebrated Spanish painter Carlos Ruano Llopis (1878–1950) was created for the summer season (Verano de 1932) at the new Plaza de Toros of San Sebastián. Known for his evocative, elegant depictions of Spanish cultural life, Ruano Llopis here captures the grandeur and festivity of the corrida.
The composition foregrounds a poised woman in an orange dress with a traditional black embroidered shawl, seated serenely amid blooming roses as matadors prepare in the background. Her confident gaze draws the viewer into the scene, evoking the atmosphere of Spanish bullrings and the rituals surrounding them. The typography announces “Seis Grandes Corridas de Toros, de Abono”, listing star matadors of the time such as Vicente Barrera, José Mejías (Bienvenida), and Domingo Ortega.
Ruano Llopis, a master of costumbrismo and bullfighting art, created numerous posters that became icons of Spanish visual culture. His rich painterly style blends realism and theatricality, immortalising flamenco dancers, toreros, and spectators with expressive brushwork and luminous colour.
This large-format poster remains an evocative testament to Spain’s golden age of tauromachia and to Ruano Llopis’s artistry. It is ideal for collectors of vintage Spanish posters...
