Automotive Art – Alberto Ponno’s “1957 Maserati 250F”

Steve Natale

“The Maestro” Artwork

Artist Alberto Ponno renders a striking image of “The Maestro,” Juan Manuel Fangio, at the height of his powers.

The 1957 season was Juan Manuel Fangio’s swan song. With four World Championship victories under his belt, Fangio rejoined the Officine Alfieri Maserati team to drive the 250F in his final season of Grand Prix racing. Having already won the season opening race in Argentina, Fangio and the Formula One circus moved on to Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix.
