Théophile Roederer & Co./Champagne. 1897. Louis-Theophile Hingre.
24 ¾ x 50 5/8 in./63 x 128.5 cm
For one of the most beloved Champagne houses in France, Hingre fuses the motifs of Mucha with the poses of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and produces a work that perfectly balances lightness, strength, structure and opulence. It’s a rather fine translation of the Champagne itself into visual form. Hingre wasn’t just a graphic artist; he also worked in metal sculpture, and the sculpted guard across the woman’s midriff is a small signature to that effect.
