Tips

Andrea Scioli 🇮🇹

September 3, 2024

This is an imposing monument in homage to the San Fermin bull run. It realistically represents the expressiveness and dynamism of a frenetic moment of the bull run in which the runners are caught by the bulls. The sculpture was intended to be a snapshot of the bull run and an expressed action, a hasty escape, said Rafael Huerta.
The sculptural group carved in bronze is composed of nineteen figures: six bulls of Victorino Martín, three oxen and ten runners. The current sculpture is a harmonious work of 11 meters long and 4 meters wide plus a reinforced concrete pedestal. It is an expansion inaugurated in 2007 from the sculpture of the original in 1994 (where there were only 2 runners and 1 bull) at the request of the City Council of Pamplona in 2004.
Rafael Huerta himself portrayed himself in one of the corridors lying on the ground. "I didn't want to be the protagonist, but I had the intuition to get involved, as other authors have done in their works." Originally, the sculptor represented Julen Madina and the councilor Ignacio Pérez Cabañas, both Sanfermines runners, in the work, but they were later removed due to social pressure. The identities of the rest of the brokers are anonymous.
