About the Item
Carlos Ruano Llopis (1878-1950)
Original Vintage Bullfighting Poster
March 1953
107cm x 53cm
Carlos Ruano Llopis was born in 1878 in Orba, Spain where he would become a celebrated painter and bullfighting poster artist. He began his career in a fan-making workshop to support his family. In 1909, he won the gold medal at the Regional Exhibition, allowing him to enjoy a scholarship to further his studies in Italy. From here onwards, he began to develop his characteristic bullfighting motif. This obsession with bulls was perhaps borne out of his own desire to pursue glory as a matador, an ambition he only curbed in deference to his beloved mother. The vivacity of his bullfighting posters became his trademark and, on one occasion, the prodigious matador Joselito “Gallo” even proclaimed, ‘the artist who painted this knows how to bullfight, even if he has never fought bulls before.’ Bright colours, movement and a sense of passion bring these posters to life, offering a uniquely Spanish charm.
This 1953 edition advertises a bullfighting event in Valencia, featuring Marcial Lalanda, Manuel Rodriguez Manolete - often considered one of the greatest bullfighters of all time -, and Manolo Martín Vazquez.

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...
