Stunning original artwork of future Baseball Hall of Fame member David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox painted by world renowned sports artist James Fiorentino. This original treasure has been signed by Big Papi in very large, and bold, black marker. 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. Beautifully matted, framed, and ready for display. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity directly from the artist himself.
