Alfredo de la María
Oil on canvas
36 × 40 in.
1994
Though the memory of the grand prix heroes of yesteryear may be fading, in this fantastic painting by Alfredo de la María, titled "Through The Light," those motorsport dreams of past are vividly brought to life in his signature realism. This ethereal painting beautifully depicts an epic racing scene in which a Delahaye 135 S is chased through the forest by several other notable prewar legends, including a pair of Alfa Romeo 8Cs, an Aston Martin Ulster, and a BMW 328 not far behind.
