The artwork titled “Cordial Médoc” was created by Leonetto Cappiello in 1904. It belongs to the Art Nouveau movement, also known as Modern, and is categorized as an advertisement poster.
In the artwork, a jubilant figure is depicted amidst an abundant assortment of colorful grapes. The figure, dressed in a yellow garment, appears to be jovially suspended in the air while holding a bottle of the promoted liqueur, “Cordial Médoc.” The vibrant grape clusters in various shades of red, pink, purple, and green provide a visually stimulating backdrop, symbolizing the richness and variety of the produce used in the liqueur. The artwork prominently features the text “LIQUEUR CORDIAL-MÉDOC” in bold, yellow letters with a red outline, underscoring the product’s brand and adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece. The advertisement prominently showcases the manufacturer’s details, “G. A. Jourde – Bordeaux,” at the bottom, affirming its regional authenticity.
