Experience the Joy of the Belle Époque

Dive into the vibrant history of advertising with this magnificent reproduction of the 1901 Absinthe Ducros Fils poster. Created by the master of modern advertising posters, Leonetto Cappiello, this piece captures the exuberance and dynamic energy of the Art Nouveau period, often referred to as the Belle Époque. The poster features a jubilant woman, dressed dramatically in flowing orange and brown, smiling radiantly while raising a bottle of the infamous “Green Fairy.”

Leonetto Cappiello’s Iconic Design

Known for moving away from the detailed scenes of predecessors like Mucha and Cheret, Cappiello revolutionized poster art by focusing on a single, striking figure against a plain background. This design is a prime example of his impactful style. The bold use of color—particularly the rich, earthy brown contrasted with the vibrant orange and yellow lettering—makes this poster an unforgettable visual statement. It prominently advertises Absinthe Ducros Fils, promoting its superior quality with the phrase “Triple Rectification.”
