2017 CPF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME - 2016 National Champions
Clemson 35 | Alabama 31
Legends & Champions is artist Daniel A. Moore's tribute in oils commemorating the history-making 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The painting was an integral part of the 2016 College Football Game of the Year Award® presented by the United States Sports Academy.
Within the image are subtle references of Clemson Legends from the 1981 National Championship. These ghosted images include Coach Danny Ford, Offensive game MVP Homer Jordan and Defensive game MVP Jeff Davis. Their spiritual presence was not only felt by the current team of Clemson champions as they toppled the top-ranked Crimson Tide, but also by the numerous Clemson fans pulling for their Tigers.
Daniel A. Moore's body of work, generated from a life-long labor of love, has grown well into the millions of dollars in created value. His fine art prints have been collected by art lovers across the U.S. and in several foreign countries. But above all, his fine art limited edition prints have become treasured heirlooms of his alma mater's faithful.
For each of his major releases the artist spends hundreds of hours and even 1,000+ hours in creating the original oil painting — the all-important masterwork for a fine art print production. Beginning in 1979, with the sale of The Goal Line Stand for $10,000, his subsequent masterworks have sold for up to $80,000. In recent years the artist's original oils – each typically measuring 36" x 48" – have been certifiably appraised to establish fair market prices for up to $239,000 for The Tradition Continues ($1,870/sq. in.).
