Buy this original lithograph by Alain Winance, a rare print celebrating oenology, wine, gastronomy and the terroirs of France. Signed by the artist and dated in 2000, this contemporary work of art entitled « Notre Patrimoine – L’Art de Vivre » (Our Heritage – The Art of Living) combines figuration and abstraction to magnify the French art of living through a striking chromatic composition.

Created exclusively for the Congress of French Notaries held in Lille in the year 2000, this limited commemorative edition directly reflects the official themes addressed that year: “Assets in the 21st Century: Challenges and New Horizons.” The artist masterfully incorporated the inscription “Notre Patrimoine – L’Art de Vivre” (“Our Heritage – The Art of Living”)—visible toward the center-left of the composition—onto the terracotta-colored section that straddles the bottle’s label.

This large, collectible lithograph is printed on high-quality vellum paper. Alain Winance—a renowned Belgian painter and engraver, and honorary professor of lithography at the Academy of Fine Arts—demonstrates his complete mastery of contrast here. Warm, earthy tones of ochre, terracotta, and beige are set against a stylized wine bottle with deep blue outlines, alongside abstract clusters of grapes rendered as overlapping blue circles—all evoking the richness of vineyards and fine dining.

A choice piece for collectors and wine enthusiasts: Alain Winance’s handwritten signature is visible at the bottom right, complemented by the official printed logo of the Notaires de France at the bottom center.
