About the work
This beautiful black-and-white panoramic photograph brings us face to face with the Fletschhorn, which rises to an altitude of 3985 metres on the border between the Simplon and Saas Fee valleys in the Swiss Alps. It's not quite 4,000 metres high, but here it takes on the appearance of a giant. This portrait of the Fletschhorn highlights its incredible north face, studded with hanging glaciers. These diamonds in the rough shimmer with beauty even as their lives are in danger. How much longer will we be able to admire them like this?
This exceptional panorama also highlights the other mountains in the region. Barely visible behind the Fletschhorn, the Lagginhorn peak rises to an altitude of 4010 metres. Our photographic journey then takes us to the Pizzo d'Andolla, a sharp pyramid that stands on the Italian border. From the Tällihorn, our gaze finally wanders to the Tossenhorn, on the far left of the picture. It rises to an altitude of 3224 meters between the Laggintal and the Swischbergental.
I took this photograph of the Fletschhorn from the other side of the Rhone valley. The view of the mountain is breathtaking from the ski resorts of Riederalp, Bettmeralp and Fiescheralp. These villages in the Aletsch Arena ski area lie at the foot of the Aletschgletscher, Europe's largest glacier. A sumptuous landscape that honours these ice marvels, thought to be immortal but dying a little more every day. Having emerged victorious from a snowstorm, the Fletschhorn sparkles at dawn. The clouds still present, the last witnesses to the fury of the winds, endow the picture with a bewitching depth. The freshly snow-covered mountain appears in all its purity. Its immaculate finery lends it a Himalayan air that we'd like to contemplate for eternity.

As former inhabitants of Zermatt, it's hard to forget the Matterhorn, even in a new environment of mountains and nature.we discovered this large photo of the Matterhorn in a gallery, so strong and intense, it was impossible to forget it........ It became obvious that it should adorn our new apartment as a centerpiece.What's more, we had a very sympathetic contact with the artist, who came himself to deliver his work.It's very appreciable and adds a dimension to the object, to know its creator, his passion, the conditions under which it was taken.The texture of the photo resembles a painting, the lights play on it, Next the hours. It seems alive. A real daily pleasure!

We were bowled over!
My wife and I are amazed at the quality of print and the rendering of this magnificent photo. We had waited many years to put a picture on this blank wall because we had never "flashed" on a piece of art. Now we've found it, and it fits in perfectly at the entrance to our apartment. What's more, it depicts 3 summits that are particularly close to our hearts: the Weisshorn, Dent Blanche and the Matterhorn - quite a symbol...
We'd like to thank you again for your impeccable service (rapid response to enquiries, hyper-realistic projection of the work on the photos of the wall beforehand). In short, we have nothing to complain about and look forward to seeing you at an opening.
