About the work
Majestic and iconic, theAllalinhorn rips through the sky at 4027 metres in the Valais Alps, a mineral throne at the heart of the Mischabels massif. Captured from Zermatt, this full-color work shows the pitiless beauty of this Swiss giant.
The mountain is revealed in striking contrast. The dark rock struggles against the blindingly white glaciers still clinging to its flanks. In the foreground, the glacier displays its gaping wounds, scars of silent agony. Widening crevasses bear witness to the warming that is eating away at these thousand-year-old cathedrals of ice. Every season, I return to contemplate its changing face. With each visit, I measure the inexorable progress of its metamorphosis. The recent storm offered an illusory respite, an immaculate veil temporarily masking the scars of time. But beneath this ephemeral finery, the truth remains implacable. The deep fissures that scar the glacier tell the story of the slow disappearance of a world. Yet theAllalinhorn retains its regal dignity. It stands impassive in its primitive grandeur, as if the mountain itself refuses to admit its own vulnerability in the face of the upheavals we are imposing on its existence.
This work invites you to meditate on the fragile beauty of our Alpine summits . TheAllalinhorn is no longer just a mountain to be admired, but a message engraved in rock and ice. A chilling reminder that even giants are not eternal in the face of the fever that consumes our planet.

Collector's reviews
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.

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!
