EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of the bicentenary celebration of Dom Perignon's invention of sparkling Champagne. The image, a colourful lithograph created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the momentous occasion in all its fizzing glory. The composition depicts an enchanting scene from 18th-century France, where Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk from Hautvillers, made his groundbreaking discovery. The illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on June 14th, 1914, commemorating this significant milestone. Intriguingly mythologized as the inventor of Champagne, Dom Perignon is portrayed amidst a cellar filled with countless bottles of his effervescent creation. The artist skillfully conveys both the excitement and mystery surrounding this iconic beverage that has become synonymous with celebrations worldwide. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when sparkling wine was still a novelty—an innovation that would forever change our drinking culture. It serves as a reminder of how one man's ingenuity can shape an entire industry and leave behind an enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of Dom Perignon's genius but also of France's rich cultural heritage and its contribution to European traditions. This print is truly a testament to the joyous spirit embodied by Champagne—a symbol of elegance and indulgence enjoyed by people across borders for centuries.
