At the top of the composition, Marco presents a powerful image of a nun cradling a child, an emotional and compassionate symbol of the event’s purpose. Below, the tension of the bullring takes over: a matador confronts a charging bull in a dynamic, almost abstract rendering full of movement and energy. This bold juxtaposition between religious charity and public spectacle makes the poster both a compelling artwork and a historical document of its time.
The corrida featured an impressive lineup of famed matadors, including Marcial Lalanda, Manuel Mejías "Bienvenida", Antonio Cañero, and Lorenzo Garza—some of the most renowned figures of the bullfighting world in the 1930s.
Rendered in striking tones of earthy reds and cool blue-greys, the design speaks to the era’s graphic style while echoing the emotional contrasts of the event itself. It is a powerful example of how visual culture was used not just to advertise, but to inspire solidarity and collective action.
More than just a poster, this piece is a window into a moment where art, tradition, and charity intersected on the sands of the Spanish bullring.
