Description
Discover this extraordinary original 1922 Italian wine poster by master lithographer Plinio Codognato, one of Italy’s most celebrated Art Deco designers. This exceptional vintage wine poster represents the golden age of Italian beverage advertising and the prestigious Vini di Lusso (Wines of Luxury) campaign for the Italian Society for Superior Wine.
The composition brilliantly captures classical mythology through a modern lens: a sensuous Bacchus satyr figure stretches upward in anticipation, reaching for clusters of golden grapes suspended above, while vibrant red flowers frame the dynamic scene. Codognato’s mastery of the lithographic medium shines through in the bold color palette, flowing lines, and sophisticated Art Deco sensibility that defines this period.
This is an authentic original lithograph—not a reproduction—professionally mounted on acid-free conservation board and linen-backed for museum-quality preservation. The poster measures 13″ x 19″ and is in very good condition, with only minor handling wear at the edges, consistent with museum standards for vintage posters of this caliber.
As a certificate-of-authenticity poster from an IVPDA-certified dealer, this piece comes with guaranteed provenance documentation. Collectors and connoisseurs recognize Codognato’s work as a cornerstone of Art Deco poster design, with investment-grade appreciation potential. Whether you’re building a wine poster collection, pursuing Art Deco ephemera, or seeking Italian vintage advertising art, this Bacchanalian-themed lithograph represents museum-quality craftsmanship from the interwar period. Perfect for the serious collector.
