Raging Bull - The Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana by Pietro Mascagni - Movie Classics Poster (Various Sizes)

I am creating a series of posters in a range called “Movie Classics”. The theme (excuse the pun!) is showing the sheet music of the main title in an illustrative way and celebrating the brilliant composers behind many of the big screens great motion pictures.

This edition illustrates the beautiful classical theme used in the opening credits of the 1980 movie 'Raging Bull'. The black and white biopic of boxer Jake La Motta (played by Robert De Niro) directed by Martin Scorsese is one of Hollywoods all time greatest films.

The opening scene shows La Motta alone in the smoke filled ring wearing his trademark hooded leopard skin robe whilst Mascagni's operatic masterpiece plays. The music works amazingly well and sets the scene for a truly groundbreaking and seminal piece of cinema.

The scene illustrated for this poster is when Jake La Motta (aka The Raging Bull aka The Bronx Bull) takes on Sugar Ray Robinson in Detroit, 1943 and knocks Robinson through the ropes and out of the ring!

PLEASE NOTE: The poster can be resized to any measurement, please contact me to discuss your requirements.
