About the Item
Original Vintage boating poster for the Paris boat show dating from 1950 by Roger Chapelet.
Roger Chapelet - September 25th 1931 - June 30th 1995) was a French marine painter and poster artist.
Roger Chapelet’s career as a maritime painter began when he boarded the Rollon in 1927 and painted a series of paintings of different European ports: Le Havre, Antwerp, Rotterdam. Later he embarked on sailboats and painted the fishing campaigns off the banks of Newfoundland and Greenland.
In the 1930s, he became the poster artist for the main French maritime companies and in 1936 was appointed Peintre de la Marine (Official Painter to the Navy) and was a member of the Académie de Marine (see below).
The ocean liner companies included: Compagnie de Navigation Mixte, Paquet, Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, and Fraissinet.
Along with Marin-Marie and Albert Brenet, Roger Chapelet is considered one of the three great French marine painters of the 20th century. An exhibition was dedicated to him at the National Maritime Museum from October 8, 1993 to December 5, 1994.

Roger Chapelet
Roger Chapelet was in love with the sea. Young, adventurous, eager to learn and to see, he embarked on several sailing ships, including the famous codfish tall ships of St-Malo in Brittany. Chapelet crossed the North Atlantic numerous times to Greenland and Newfoundland. In 1936, he was awarded the appointment of "Peintre de la Marine" by the French Cultural Ministry, upon recommendation of the Governors of the cultural board of the French Navy. From 1939–49, he served in the French Navy and the Merchant Navy. Since 1946, Chapelet devoted his full time to his artistic career with regular sailing voyages, including quite a few on the "Sagres" which represented the Portuguese Navy at the Bicentennial parade of tall ships in New York. The artist is an accomplished sailor, who loves and respects everything which belongs to the sea. Tall ships in particular. His paintings reflect his experience and his feelings. The artist is in full control of his talent to create a balanced and harmonious composition. Color, light and motion are Chapelet's forte. Through soft, tender, yet vibrant colors, the artist shows his French heritage. He expresses his feelings in elegant simplicity, yet with a definite maritime character.
