About the work
The Grand Combin rises with all its mass between the Bagnes and Entremont valleys. This mountain is a true symbol of the Valais; visible from hundreds of kilometers away, it pierces the sky with its three mythical summits peaks, all over 4000m.
In the center, the Combin de Grafeneire (4314m), accompanied by the aiguille du Croissant, is the highest. To the left, the Côte wall gives access to the Combin de la Tsessette (4134m), itself linked by a narrow, vertiginous ridge to the Tour de Boussine (3831m), summit rarely used by mountaineers outside the Combins traverse. To the right, the Combin de Valsorey (4186m) closes the triptych.
It took me more than 10 years to obtain this rare photograph of this celestial kingdom. The storm subsides, a sea of clouds, blocked by the presence of Tournelon Blanc (3700m), still covers the valleys, while the violent winds continue to blow the snow at summit du Combin de Grafeneire... the mountain is thus revealed in all its immensity, ice and snow radiate; difficult to imagine now that, in perhaps 40 years' time, only summit will still be there.

Collector's reviews
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.
