Content of this listing © But for the Love of Cars. All rights reserved.
Beautifully executed print of a Walter Gotschke painting showing Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling on their way to a one-two finish in the 1954 French Grand Prix at Reims. The streamlined bodywork of the Mercedes-Benz W196s offers a striking contrast to the number 2 Ferrari driven by José Froilán González. (Please pardon any appearance of bowing or other defects — these are photographic artifacts. Print is straight, square, flat, and unblemished.)
ABOUT THE PRINT
This painting ranks among those that German artist Walter Gotschke considered his best work on one of his most-studied subjects: the Mercedes-Benz racing car in action. Gotschke's impressionistic gouaches were painstakingly researched and rendered to portray the true character of the car and the racing style and personality of each racing driver in dramatic racing situations. Gotschke's first race sketches were published in 1929 when he was seventeen years old, and he continued to paint thrilling automobile races scenes into his 70s.
This print is beautifully rendered on a substantial matte white stock. Would look striking framed.
Entire piece measures approximately 12 x 16" (31 x 41cm); print area measures approximately 7 3/4 x 10 3/4" (20 x 28cm).
Print is new, and handled with gloves to keep it clean and crisp, with a bright, unblemished print surface. Sharp edges and corners. WGMB26.
