The artwork titled “Cognac Monnet” was created by the artist Leonetto Cappiello in the year 1927. This piece is part of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and serves as an advertisement poster.
The artwork exhibits a striking composition featuring a dynamic, sensuously posed woman dressed in a flowing, vibrant red dress. She is elegantly holding a large glass of Cognac, which emits a radiant, sun-like glow that envelops her head and upper body. The black background provides a strong contrast, making the bright colors of the dress and the golden light from the Cognac particularly eye-catching. The text at the top reads “..du soleil dans un verre..” which translates to “..sunshine in a glass..” and is followed by “COGNAC MONNET”, prominently displayed in bold yellow letters at the bottom. Leonetto Cappiello’s signature is visible in the lower right corner, emphasizing the artwork’s authenticity and artistic value.
