Maurin Quina (1906)
Original Stone Lithograph by Leonetto Cappiello
Few images are as instantly recognisable in the history of advertising art as Cappiello’s Maurin Quina. Created in the early 20th century, this iconic design marked a revolutionary departure from the ornate Art Nouveau posters that preceded it, replacing intricate decoration with a bold, unforgettable image that commands attention from across the room.
Often referred to as the “Father of Modern Advertising,” Leonetto Cappiello transformed poster design through his use of vivid colours, dramatic contrasts and striking visual simplicity. The mischievous green devil clutching a bottle of Maurin Quina became one of the most successful and enduring advertising images ever created.
A true masterpiece of graphic design and one of the most important and collectable images in the history of poster art.
