About the Item
This charming circa 1975 original poster by Samivel was created to celebrate and promote the Parc National de la Vanoise, one of France’s most iconic alpine preserves located in the Alpes de Savoie. The work captures both the grandeur of the high mountain landscape and the quiet intimacy of alpine wildlife, embodied here by a serene family of marmots.
Renowned for his poetic sensitivity to nature, Samivel—a writer, artist, and mountaineer—brings a gentle, almost storybook-like quality to the poster. The background features a majestic snow-capped summit partially shrouded in mist, a subtle tribute to the untouched wilderness of the Vanoise range. In the foreground, three marmots rest on a flowery knoll, surrounded by delicate alpine flora. The composition is simple yet evocative, exuding both reverence and tenderness.
Samivel’s style is unmistakable: clean lines, soft gradations of color, and a profound sense of stillness. He was not just a graphic artist but also a passionate environmentalist, and his work for French national parks helped cultivate public appreciation for nature’s quiet beauty.
Printed by the Éditions Paul Leclerc, this poster was part of a broader mid-century movement in France to promote eco-tourism and national heritage. Rather than depicting energetic hikers or dramatic action scenes, Samivel’s approach invites stillness and observation, reflecting the true spirit of the Vanoise.
Collectors value this piece not only for its visual elegance but also for its role in raising awareness of conservation in the Alps. Today, this poster remains a beloved example of how art and nature education were beautifully intertwined in 20th-century French visual culture. A gentle yet powerful homage to the wilderness, this is Samivel at his most enchanting.
