De Schilderachtige Ardennen Belgie

This original vintage travel poster from 1957 hails from Belgium, enticing travelers with the picturesque beauty of the Ardennes region. The subtitle boldly declares "Amsterdam Brussels Luxembourg by train in 1957, fully electric."

The poster is the work of Gaston Bogaert, also known as Capouillard. Bogaert, a Belgian surrealist painter renowned for his adept use of symbols and surreal imagery. His paintings often evoke a romantic yet unsettling atmosphere, skillfully blending reality with the fantastical.

Featuring an evocative drawing of a scenic landscape with a river and castle, viewed through a window, the poster adds a touch of modernity with a yellow-framed photograph of a motor train unit and a fishing rod on the windowsill.

Despite some margin wear and small tears, the poster remains in very good condition, boasting fresh colors that promise to elevate any space when elegantly framed.
