This is an absolutely masterful rendition of Babe Ruth, with one shot of him hitting and another close-up shot in the bottom right corner. This spectacular 18-by-24-inch rendition of “The Babe” painted in acrylic by one of the masters of the form, Darryl Vlasak. Few artists are capable of capturing the purest essence of many of the greatest players from many eras, with his remarkable talent for recreating the flavor and feel of the old ballparks a marvelous complement to the ultra-realistic portrayal of great player as does Vlasak. The artist, whose work has appeared in numerous magazines and books over the last 20 years, including a vast inventory of covers for Sports Collectors Digest, has signed his masterpiece in his elegant fashion on the lower-right corner of the painting.
