Automotive Art – Neil Podbery’s “1956 Mille Miglia”

Juan Manuel Fangio Artwork

Neil Podbery captures a crucial moment of this 1000-mile challenge in its full monochromatic glory.

This exquisitely done painting depicts Juan Manuel Fangio, the five-time Formula One World Champion, finishing 5th in the 1956 Mille Miglia with the factory Ferrari 290MM. During the race he was delayed by carburetion problems, and further exasperated by the cold and persistent rain, all of which made the event particularly demanding for the aging Argentinean ace.
