Description
The Canvas Studio Proof Edition
On 8 May 1945, the last day of the war in Europe, Erich Hartmann took off for one final mission. Over the city of Brno in Czechoslovakia, he spotted a pair of enemy Yak-9s performing impromptu aerobatics for Soviet troops on the ground. Hartmann, however, upstaged the show and promptly shot one of them down! It was his 352nd aerial victory, a total never likely to be surpassed.
In one of Robert Taylor’s his most iconic paintings Hartmann is seen leading a swarm of Me109Gs as they half-roll into attack, high over the Russian front, and is the latest addition to the highly-celebrated series of Studio Proofs on canvas.
This stunning collector’s piece, printed onto fine canvas using the latest high-definition technology, is available in two different sizes:
Carefully crafted onto fine canvas, each of these Giclée Proofs are signed by Robert Taylor, hand-numbered and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity.
