ANDIDO ARAGONESE (ARAGONEZ) DE FARIA (1849-1911)
CACHAT'S - MAJESTIC. Circa 1911.
47x63½ inches, 119½x161¼ cm. Atelier Faria, Paris. Condition B: extensive repaired tears, replaced losses and overpainting in margins; repaired tears, creases, abrasions and overpainting in image.
The Cachat's-Majestic hotel was the subject of two posters by Faria - this summer image and a sister piece showing a nearly identical view in the wintertime. In this version, the gardens are in full bloom, international flags fly from the top of the hotel and couples stroll and get ready to play tennis, surrounded by the splendor of the Alpine region. The building is no longer a hotel, but the Chamonix Congress Hall.
