Corsica posters: Bonifacio, the coast and the interior

2.

The west coast, harbors and islands

Fishing harbors, offshore islands, bays in the evening light: Corsica’s west coast inspires several compositions, from Art Deco to a more illustrative style.

3.

Bonifacio, the limestone cliffs

Bonifacio remains the island’s most recognizable image, with its white cliffs towering over the sea. A poster of this site works just as well on its own as paired with another Mediterranean view.

The island’s interior

Mountain landscapes featuring a shepherd and his sheep, old hillside villages, or chestnuts roasted over a wood fire complete the picture of a more rural Corsica, less often shown than the coastal postcards.

Where to hang a Corsica poster

A living room or an entryway suits this kind of poster well, on its own or in a gallery wall with other Mediterranean destinations such as the Amalfi Coast. The A3 size suits most walls; to pair Bonifacio, the coast and the interior together, A4 makes a small 3-frame gallery easy.

Red rocks, beyond the white of Bonifacio

The poster of the Corsican bay with red granite rocks and a umbrella pine changes the palette from Bonifacio, already described above with its white cliffs: turquoise water lined with red rocks, for another shade of the Corsican coast.

A coastal village, beyond the named harbors

The poster of the Corsican coastal village, with its Genoese tower and boats, shifts the focus away from the island's big towns: an unnamed fishing village, its colorful boats pulled up on the sand at the foot of the tower, for the feel of a small harbor with no specific name.

Chestnuts, by the fireside too

Beyond the mountain landscape and its shepherd already described, the “Chestnut Harvest” poster changes register: an old woman roasts chestnuts over a wood fire in a Castagniccia alley, her basket at her feet, a village scene more than a landscape.
