Four icons. Four portraits. One legendary band.
This rare early series of The Beatles by Peter Engels (featuring George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr) was created around 2005, before the artist developed his now-famous palette knife technique.
Painted with the brush, the works nonetheless carry the unmistakable qualities of Engels’ Vintage Portraits: sepia tones, cinematic presence, and emotional atmosphere. Each 50 × 50 cm canvas offers a close-up of one of the Fab Four, radiating individuality while together forming a cohesive set.
The series travelled internationally, exhibited at Art Basel Miami, Mougins (the famed art village near Cannes), and New York. Its exhibition history underscores both the significance of the subject and the growing reputation of the artist at that time.
For collectors, this four-piece set is a rare glimpse into Engels’ early period, before the palette knife took over. A foundational work, blending music history with the artistic evolution of one of today’s most distinctive portraitists.
