Views on Château Lafite Rothschild - 1987
Jean Larivière
In the 1980s, Jean Larivière was already a photographer famous for his advertising visuals – true works of art – for Louis Vuitton. A favourite of elitist magazines such as L’Egoïste, he delivered “magnificent elegance.”
“A great young talent – he was born in 1940 – he sets the tone and translates the desired alternation between generations of photographers into the approach initiated by Baron Eric de Rothschild and Daniel Vignat.”
His photo on the Château’s terrace symbolises history and permanence across generations; the painting at the foot of the tree is a portrait of Baroness Charlotte, daughter of Baron James de Rothschild, by Harry Sheffer.
