About the work
A luminous portrait of the Weisshorn, which rises to an altitude of 4506 metres in the Imperial Crown of Zinal, in the Valais Alps. On the border between val d’Anniviers and the Zermatt valley, this gleaming pyramid unfurls its western face before our eyes. On the left, its northern ridge bears its cross. In the shadows, the Grand Gendarme, the key passage of the ascent, eagerly awaits the climbers who will attempt its crossing when summer comes. Edward Whymper, the first man to reach summit the Matterhorn, said he preferred the aesthetics of the Weisshorn. When I look at this black and white photograph, I don't think he was wrong. For me, the Matterhorn remains one of the most beautiful mountains in the Alps. But the Weisshorn shines with its incredible charisma and sumptuous balance of form.
The photograph also offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. To the left of the Weisshorn stands the Dom des Mischabel, the highest summit in Switzerland. The Täschhorn,Alphubel,Allalinhorn and Rimpfischhorn also stand out. On the right, the Monte Rosa massif stands out on the horizon. Our gaze falls on Dufourspitze, summit Switzerland's highest mountain, and on Nordend. The work then guides us towards the Liskamm, Castor and Pollux mountains to reach Breithorn. Below, we can make out the Gornergrat and its railroad line. From summit on the Weisshorn, the panorama is grandiose. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to admire it when I climbed it. The fog quickly enveloped us, and I had this magnificent experience without being able to contemplate the landscape. Despite the difficulties, I still have exceptional memories of this adventure.
I took this photograph of the Weisshorn in the middle of winter, after an impressive snowstorm. Victorious, the mountain's face is completely white in the sunlight. With its striking verticality, its 1,300-metre plumb line is vertiginous. It's hard not to be captivated by the grandeur and purity of this colossus, which challenges our gaze to the very edge of the Alps.

We enjoy it every day!
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.
