The "Rainmaster” Reigns - Mercedes-Benz - Silver Arrows - Rudolf Caracciola - Monaco Grand Prix - 1936 | Fine Art Print
Torrential rain and a massive oil slick knocked Mercedes-Benz drivers Louis Chiron and Manfred von Brauchitsch, as well as Auto Union driver Bernd Rosemeyer, out of the 1936 Monaco Grand Prix on the second lap. It was the biggest accident in Silver Arrows history, but it didn’t dampen their spirits.
Rudolf Caracciola took control from this point on and commanded the race on his own terms. First, second, and third place were all claimed by Silver Arrows cars with Caracciola taking the top spot for Mercedes.
The Rainmaster proved worthy of his title yet again.
magic behind our work
Research and Concept
Every image created is based on a real-life historic event. To ensure accuracy, extensive research is carried out to piece together every last detail. In-house concept artists, then, work up several visual ideas – using different views, settings, and perspectives – before a final design is settled upon.
3D Modelling and 3D scanning
Once the concept is established, a 3D model is created using computer-generated imagery. Studying every piece of reference material available, Automobilists’ artists, then, digitally rebuild the vehicle from scratch, slowly constructing layer upon layer with painstaking detail – even down to the last coat of paint.
Photoshoot
With pre-production complete, it’s time to go on-location and start shooting photographs. This stage can last for several days and involves crews of up to 70 people, depending on the concept. The highest grade of professional equipment is used to ensure the highest quality and resolution images, and extensively detailed sets are also built when required.
Composition
The last step in the production process involves consolidating the digital assets to form the final artwork. In this phase, the 3D elements are rendered with the photoshoot imagery, and to this composite, additional elements – such as light, smoke, shadows, dirt, flames, and weather – are added, to bring the piece to life. Only with these details included it is time to print and frame.
