Artist Doug West painted this dynamic rendition of Jean Beliveau for the Hall of Fame in the 1990s. It was one of two different Beliveau paintings done, with the Hall opting for the "other" work for its limited-edition series of Hall of Fame art cards. Brushed with watercolours on illustration board, the special painting captures one of the greatest players ever to lace on a pair of skates. Asked why he painted two different Beliveaus, artist West responded: "Because Beliveau was just such a special player." Indeed, some of his opponents still contend that Beliveau is the greatest centre in NHL history.
