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. Corrida - Spain - Madrid Portabella Zaragoza
