About the work
This panoramic photograph reveals the splendour of the Imperial Crown of Zinal, in Switzerland. It features some of the most beautiful 4,000-meter-high summits in the Alps. This immense mountain range in the Valais is located at val d’Anniviers, on the border with the Zermatt valley.
This exceptional panorama could only be achieved from the air, as there is no summit from which to position yourself here. The aerial view brings together all the Crown Mountains. On the left, the Weisshorn, the highest summit of the Imperial Crown, stands out in all its majesty. summits In front of it, Bishorn is one of the easiest 4000-meter-high Alpine peaks to climb. The Zinalrothorn, with its long Blanc ridge, leads us to the Blanc de Moming. We then travel to Besso, the emblematic mountain of Zinal. In the background,Obergabelhorn and the Matterhorn line up one behind the other. The monumental height of the Matterhorn, which rises to 4478 metres above sea level, can be seen here, compared withObergabelhorn, which is 400 metres lower. Finally, we let ourselves be carried towards the Dent d'Hérenswhose ridge is connected to the Matterhorn, the majestic Dent Blanche and the Grand Cornier.
A play on perspective leads us to believe that these high mountains are one after the other. In reality, the valleys of Zermatt, Turtmann, val d’Anniviers and Val d'Hérens separate them. By choosing this particular vantage point, from which these giants of rock and ice can be aligned in a single picture, I wanted to highlight the jewels that nature has to offer.
To create this work, I waited for a heavy snowfall. Then I had to catch the morning light, which is the only way to diffuse the effect of light and shadow on the freshly-whitened walls. Finally, it was essential that the clouds still covered the valley. All these conditions came together to magnify the purity and grandeur of summits in the Swiss Alps. By photographing this extraordinary panorama, I wanted to convey the celestial dimension of the high mountains, which never ceases to fill me with emotion.

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.
