Greeting the crowd
July 1996 – Hockenheim, Germany
The Hockenheim circuit echoes here with German cheers: Michael Schumacher, newly signed with Ferrari, is hailed by a sea of black, red, and gold flags. The stadium section of the circuit is his domain — he waves to his supporters at the end of the practice session.
This automotive fine art photograph, captured by Sebastien Desnoulez, freezes a moment of national fervor and raw speed during the 1996 German Grand Prix.
The side composition highlights the sleek silhouette of the Ferrari F310, set against a backdrop of animated grandstands.
The deep red of the car stands out powerfully — a symbol of a team in rebirth and a driver already on the path to legend.
Logos such as Shell, Pioneer, Asprey, and Marlboro root the image firmly in an iconic era of Formula 1.
The contrast between the car’s linear motion and the vibrant excitement of the crowd gives the scene a unique dynamic.
Here, the photograph becomes a dual narrative: that of the focused driver tracing his line, and that of the people — moved, united, and electrified.
Through his lens, Sebastien Desnoulez captures far more than a race.
He reveals a moment of national communion, a myth in motion, and a car elevated to symbol.
An image that resonates as deeply with lovers of contemporary photography as it does with fans of historic Formula 1.

The different types of frames and finishes available
The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.
The framing is left to your discretion.
The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.
The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.
The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.
The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.
The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.
This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.
The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.
Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.
This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
Contact us for any specific size or custom finishes, whether it’s for the choice of fine art paper, adding a white margin, the wood type of the frame, or even a specific framing.
We are here to listen and meet your needs to enhance your Fine Art photographic print.
