Paris Place des Vosges Circa 1950

This original vintage poster, created circa 1950 by the celebrated French painter Yves Brayer, beautifully captures the timeless elegance of Place des Vosges in the heart of Paris. Known for his masterful depictions of landscapes and cityscapes, Brayer brings his refined style to this winter scene, showcasing the historic square’s signature red brick facades, slate rooftops, and manicured gardens.

The delicate yet expressive brushstrokes and the muted winter palette evoke a serene and nostalgic atmosphere, transporting viewers to a bygone Parisian era. The bare trees and soft snow lend the artwork a poetic charm, while the classic architectural symmetry of the Place des Vosges remains the focal point of the composition.

Published by Galerie de Paris, located at 14 Place François 1er, Paris VIII, this poster is a testament to mid-century Parisian artistry. The circa 1950 date aligns with a period when Brayer was actively exhibiting his work and gaining international recognition for his ability to blend architectural precision with artistic lyricism.

A highly collectible piece for lovers of French vintage posters, mid-century modern art, and Parisian history, this Yves Brayer creation serves as both a visual delight and a cherished glimpse into the romantic essence of post-war Paris.
