Description
This extraordinary original Cognac Richarpallioud fan poster by Jean D’Ylen stands as a masterpiece of interwar advertising art. Created from the 1930 stone lithograph by one of the most celebrated poster artists of the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods, this original Cognac Richarpallioud fan poster exemplifies the bold, striking visual language that made D’Ylen and his contemporary, Leonetto Cappiello, the most sought-after artists of the 1920s and 1930s.
The design is a tour de force of Art Deco composition: a dramatic flame motif rendered in brilliant reds, oranges, and golds erupts across the fan’s surface, commanding attention and conveying the warmth, prestige, and sophistication of fine cognac. The bold lettering—”COGNAC” and “RICHARPALLIOUS”—frames the design in striking gold against deep navy blue, creating a color contrast that remains vibrant and eye-catching nearly a century later.
Jean D’Ylen was renowned for his ability to distill a brand’s essence into a single, unforgettable image. His work for luxury spirits brands, in particular, became iconic—instantly recognizable and highly coveted by collectors and dealers worldwide. The fan format was a strategic choice: as a functional object, it kept the brand message in constant circulation, yet as an art object, it elevated the cognac house’s prestige and luxury positioning.
This original lithograph die-cut fan captures the pinnacle of 1930s French commercial art. The striking color palette, dynamic composition, and masterful execution make it a museum-quality collectible and a testament to the golden age when advertising transcended mere commerce to become fine art.
