About the Item
"Savoie (Societe National des Chemins de fer Francais)" is a signed offset lithograph of a pastoral landscape created for the Societe Nationale des Chemis de fer Francais, the French National Railways. This poster depicts Savoie, a region in the French Alps.
24" x 39" paper
48" x 33" frame
Lucien Joseph Fontanarosa studied at the Ecole Estienne in Paris, a lithographic drawing studio, and later at the Ecole National des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was highly regarded throughout his entire career by French artists and the French State alike.
The SNCF, the French National Rail system, commissioned multiple posters to advertise and celebrate the connected locations on their routes after the Second World War. "Savoie", created by Lucien Joseph Fontanarosa, showcases an awe-inspiring view of snowy mountaintops of the Alps. This scene is in stark contrast to the destruction that the war had wrought in France. Because of this, the set of posters would have reinforced the public's hope in a peaceful and beautiful France.
