1958 Monaco Grand Prix

582



some of you might remember the little story of the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix i painted
.
.
well i have been busy again,
this time doing some impressions for you
of the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix
.
all four paintings are acrylic on paper and measure 5x7"
they will go as a set...

1958 Monaco Grand Prix

581


in 1958 a new order was emerging,
no longer was there the domination of the historic red cars from Italy
smaller teams from England with their innovations were beginning to take over

at the first lap no red car to be seen,it is the BRM from Behra,Brooks in the Vanwall and the Coopers of Brabham and Trintignant....


the big guns like Hawthorne in his Ferrari,above
and all the three Vanwalls like the Moss car below, retired



leaving the way for Trintignant in his little Rob Walker Cooper to win,
the first ever win at Monaco for a rear engined car

all acrylic on paper 5x7"
