Tour de France 1903 | Valenti | Original Cycling Art

La Grande Boucle! Tour de France 1903 was the first time this iconic race took place. A brutally difficult loop around France to help promote L’Auto magazine before it became the now modern version L’Équipe. Still making trips around France the race is the largest rolling billboard for sponsors in the world – and you can watch it for free on the side of the road. Vive le Tour! This original painting was created on a 40×60 inch canvas with acrylic paints. Layered to create a textured finish and designed to have a sense of the golden poster age, with a modern flair. Please let me know if you would like to talk about it or if you have any questions.   Tour de France 1903 Prints AVAILABLE HERE Shop for WATERCOLOR PRINTS Chasing the Peloton WATCH VIDEOS Shop for Giclée CYCLING PRINTS   Artist: Michael Valenti Michael Valenti creates unique Cycling Art from Iconic Races, Places and Faces around the world.
