On the top of the Muur van Geraardsbergen sits a small brick chapel. You’ve seen it a thousand times and I’ve been there. And it is every bit as magical a place as you might imagine it to be. 

Without a question it is an iconic cycling location. Like Mont Ventoux or Alpe d’Huez, a holy place where thousands of cycling enthusiast and fans flock each spring to watch history play out on the cobbles leading to the top.

It’s never a finishing spot in a race but most often a decisive move is made here and while you don’t win on the Muur, you can certainly loose.

The Original Painting is on 40×60 inch canvas, painted with acrylics. I used a combination of brushes and pallet knives to achieve the textured effect. I must confess I’m rather happy with the result. I hope this print can find a place in your home reminding you daily how much you love cycling and the history of this great sport.
