This reproduction of a tourist poster celebrates the town of Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The illustration, created by Roger Broders, offers a panoramic view of the Mediterranean port where sailboats and fishing boats intermingle at the foot of steep hills. The composition is distinguished by the use of large blocks of bright colors, notably the deep blue of the sea and the orange of the sails, capturing the specific light of the coastline.
Roger Broders, an emblematic figure of 1920s and 1930s travel posters, excels here in landscape synthesis. His style, influenced by Art Deco, favors the geometrization of forms and a dynamic perspective that invites contemplation. This plate is part of a series of commissions for railway networks, aimed at promoting nascent seaside tourism through an idealized and elegant vision of the French landscape.
Destined for travel and maritime landscape enthusiasts, this reproduction brings a touch of historical refinement to any interior. It allows one to observe Broders' compositional work and the way travel posters became an artistic medium in their own right in the 20th century. It is a choice piece for those wishing to build a collection of images related to the Riviera.
