Discover this original poster created by Lotza, which offers a magnificent representation of the iconic beach of Saint-Malo, the famous corsair city of Brittany. It clearly shows the characteristic breakwaters that protect the beach from the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizing both the power of nature and the deep connection between the city and the sea.
Saint-Malo, founded in the 12th century, has established itself over the centuries as a prosperous seaport and a dynamic center of commerce. But it is above all its privateers who have left their mark on its history, transforming the city into a veritable bastion of legal piracy. These seasoned sailors set sail to defend French interests, attack enemy ships, and bring back riches and glory, thus contributing to Saint-Malo's fame and fortune.
During World War II, the city was heavily bombed during the liberation, suffering significant destruction. Despite this, Saint-Malo was able to rise from the ashes thanks to a reconstruction faithful to its traditional architecture, which today preserves its medieval charm. This historical and architectural resilience makes Saint-Malo a popular tourist destination, where cultural heritage, maritime history, and natural beauty blend together.
Lotza's poster aptly captures this unique atmosphere, blending the softness of a peaceful beach with the robustness of the breakwaters, witnesses to the city's turbulent past. It is a work of art that is both aesthetic and evocative, ideal for lovers of history, Breton architecture, and authentic seascapes.
