Leonetto Cappiello 'Contratto' Champagne Poster
This is a vintage-style advertising poster for Contratto sparkling wine, originally designed in 1922 by the renowned Italian poster artist Leonetto Cappiello. The image features a central female figure in an expressive, dynamic pose, wearing a vibrant red top and a flowing dark skirt adorned with orange floral patterns. She elegantly lifts a massive, overflowing coupe glass filled with golden champagne and thick white foam. The background is a solid, deep black which makes the bold colors of the figure and the white 'CONTRATTO' typography at the bottom stand out. The artist's signature 'Cappiello' and the date '1922' are clearly visible in the lower left section of the main graphic. The poster is framed under glass in a dark modern frame with a light-colored mat board visible around the edges. In terms of condition, the paper appears flat, though there is a noticeable vertical crease or reflection running through the center of the image, likely from lighting during the photograph. The colors remain saturated, particularly the reds and golds. Being a poster, its construction is printed ink on paper, likely a modern lithographic or digital reproduction of the Art Deco classic given the lack of visible age-related yellowing or foxing on the borders.
