Oil on panel · 50 × 48 cm
BMW 507 Series II with Elvis Presley is a fresh oil on panel by Francesco Ferrari. The King of Rock and Roll sits at the wheel of the iconic white BMW 507 roadster, winding through an Alpine landscape of green fields, wooden huts and distant peaks.
Elvis bought his BMW 507 Series II in 1958 during his military service in Germany; the car had previously belonged to the German racing driver Hans Stuck, with whom he had won hillclimb races. Ferrari turns this piece of rock-and-roll and motorsport history into a celebration of speed, legend and painted light.
