Stunning original artwork of football Hall of Fame member Joe Namath of the New York Jets painted by world renowned sports artist James Fiorentino. This popular image is the one seen on Joe Namath's popular 1965 Topps Rookie card. Fiorentino is considered one of the most unique artists of the twentieth century. His skill embodies a compelling sense of realism. At the age of fifteen, James was the youngest artist to be featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for his likeness of Reggie Jackson, which hung beside the paintings of Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol. His painting commemorating Roberto Clemente remains in the museum as a part of their permanent collection. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity directly from the artist himself. This original treasure measures 20x24 and is framed to size 28x31 inches. Joe Namath has signed this original beautifully in bold, black marker. Broadway Joe signed this one-of-a-kind treasure during a private signing during Spring 2019 in New Jersey through GTSM.
