Little Boat fine art, featuring a 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta that put the Italian automaker on the map. In 1949 two Ferrari 166 MM Barchettas scored a 1-2 at the Mille Miglia endurance race. It went on to win Le Mans 24 Hours, then Spa 24 Hours. Ferrari only made thirty-three and each is as historically significant as it is an excellent, Italian machine.   With fine art infused to a metal canvas, the artwork appears smoother and more refined than works under glass or acrylic.

Little Boat

1949 Ferrari 166 MM

Picture yourself cruising down the road in this 'little boat' as it was affectionately called.  A true head-turner for both men and women — you will certainly be the center of attention!

Little Boat Fine Art designed and created by Breck Rothage in a way that takes it to anothere level.  Not just a simple picture, but accentuating the beauty and elegantly placing a background which enhances the iconic hood.  This is in Breck's "Silvertone" style where the color pops of the subject and all else is subservient, yet accentuates.

"Designed for long distance competition, the 166 MM took its name from one of the world’s most famous road races, the Mille Miglia, in which the Maranello cars were to triumph again and again. Its coachwork was built by Touring using the “Superlight” method." —  Ferrari

Authenticity:  This is a real 1949 Ferrari 166 MM, captured on location in the hills above Beverly Hills.  Breck specifically 'designed' this as an 'Automotive Art' piece.  

Breck“Barchetta” is Italian for boat, a nickname given to the design by a journalist who simply thought the race car looked boat-like — the fitting name stuck. To work with this very rare race car was an absolute delight.
