Description
Capture one of the most iconic moments in FIFA World Cup history with this striking canvas poster featuring Robin van Persie’s legendary “Flying Dutchman” goal against Spain during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Taken on June 13, 2014, in Salvador, Brazil, the photograph captures the precise moment Van Persie launched himself through the air to meet Daley Blind’s long pass with an extraordinary diving header. The goal equalized the match after Xabi Alonso had given Spain the lead and instantly became one of the defining images of the tournament.
The match carried added significance as a rematch of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, where Spain had defeated the Netherlands to lift the trophy. Four years later, the Dutch responded in emphatic fashion, defeating the defending world champions 5-1 in one of the most memorable results in World Cup history.
This artwork enhances the famous photograph through selective colour, drawing attention to Van Persie in the Netherlands’ blue kit while the surrounding scene fades into black and white. The result is a dramatic tribute to one of football’s most celebrated goals and one of the greatest moments of Robin van Persie’s career.
Perfect for football supporters, sports rooms, home offices, man caves, gyms, and collectors of iconic sporting photography.
