Portrait photo of Alexandre Deschaumes, a VAST artist creating very high resolution landscape and mountain photographs.
Alexandre Deschaumes

In this breathtaking November scene, the view stretches above the valley leading to Mont Blanc, revealing a sea of clouds that blankets the landscape. Rising above this ethereal expanse, the Aiguilles de Varan stand prominently on the left, while the majestic Mont Blanc range towers on the right, gleaming under the clear afternoon light. The calm, expansive atmosphere invites contemplation as the peaks appear suspended in time and space.

A rustic mountain cabin in the foreground anchors the scene, contrasting the boundless clouds and the grandeur of the distant summits. A rare natural phenomenon appears within the cloud layer—a faint rainbow-like "glory," a halo of light created by sunlight interacting with water droplets. This delicate touch adds a sense of magic and wonder to an already awe-inspiring panorama.

This composition captures the beauty and tranquility of the Alps in late autumn, where the transition to winter subtly unfolds across the high-altitude landscapes.

Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity

Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
