Stephen Hendy MBE: A Modern-Day Saint Michael, Triumphing over Racing Challenges since 1931 at Brooklands. With a passion for speed, Hendy's spirit echoes the determination of Bartolome Bermejo's "Saint Michael Triumphs over the Devil" (1468). His journey parallels that of Dona Isabel Cobos De Porcel in Francisco Goya's painting (c1805), as Hendy's name graced the 1946 Hendy 302A built G-aVT, a rare gem like The Melon Eaters by Bartolome Esteban Murillo (c1650). In the pits, Hendy mirrors Velazquez's "The Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane" (1590s), as he bravely faces the pressures of competition. Hendy's legacy continues, leaving an indelible mark on motorsport history, just as El Greco's "The Lady with a Fan" (c1640) leaves an enduring impression on art.
