Product description
Saumur earned its nickname as the Pearl of Anjou long before this 1951 festival celebrated its sparkling wine and world-class equestrian schools. This print captures the intersection of regional pride and post-war celebration through a vibrant mid-century lens. The composition centers on a bottle of sparkling wine resting upon a wooden barrel, framed by the stark white towers of the Chateau de Saumur. A stylized equestrian figure, rendered in bold yellow outlines, nods to the city’s famous Cadre Noir riding school, all set against a deep cobalt sky that makes the red and white typography pop.
This artwork evokes the sun-drenched days of early summer in the Loire Valley, where the community comes alive with the clinking of glasses and the rhythmic trot of horses. It represents a specific moment when the region gathered to celebrate their agricultural heritage and architectural splendor. Looking at this print feels like stepping into a French marketplace, smelling the oak barrels and feeling the cool breeze off the river.
It earns its spot in a wall of retro bar wall art, with french advertising posters making an easy companion.
