Stunning original artwork of legendary quarterback, Hall of Famer and 4-time Super Bowl Champion Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49'ers painted by world renowned sports artist James Fiorentino. 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 22x30 and is framed to size 30 x 40 inches. Montana signed and inscribed this one-of-a-kind treasure in gold marker.
FIORENTINO ELITE
James has created the Fiorentino Elite collection to recognize the greatest athletes in the world through a series of 22" x 30" original watercolor paintings. Each painting is signed by both James and the athlete. James has committed to never producing the same image of an athlete more than once in the Elite collection. His goal is to create exclusivity so that his collectors will know that they have purchased a truly one of a kind painting. Each painting will be marked as a 1 of 1 which only adds to the uniqueness of this collection. According to James, " It has been an honor for me to paint these tremendous athletes and have them personally sign my artwork. I hope my collectors enjoy these Elite paintings as much as I did painting them. These are one of a kind sports masterpieces that capture the spirit of some of the greatest athletes and champions of all time.”
Fiorentino has become one of the most preeminent sports artists in world and is being recognized as such. Art & Life: James Fiorentino - BallNine
