ROBERT TAYLOR’S HARTMANN TRIBUTE TRILOGY

Back

Artist Profile

Between 1997 and 1999, Robert Taylor’s publishers released three limited editions paying tribute to the World’s highest scoring fighter Ace ever, Colonel Erich Hartmann.  Robert Taylor and Erich Hartmann agreed three scenarios from his illustrious career to be recreated as oil paintings.  These were completed in the early 1990s and limited edition prints produced. The prints were signed by Hartmann and fellow high scoring Luftwaffe Aces.   By prior agreement with Erich Hartmann the prints were not released until after he passed away in 1993, part of the sale proceeds being donated to his widow.
