Alps Giants - The Gran Paradiso I
1,576 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Ceresole Reale, Torino, Italy
Ceresole Reale, Torino, Italy
In this VAST photo you can see one part of the heart of the park, a beautiful area with the Trebecchi lakes (Three Beaks), surrounded by 4061 meters (13323 feet) high peak of the Gran Paradiso massif, the highest mountain completely in italian territory. If you see one of the closeups, you can see some Mountain climbers while they are reaching the top of the mountain. You can see also the incredible details of the glacier and of the rocks.
The Gran Paradiso National Park (French Parc national du Grand-Paradis) is the oldest national park in Italy, established on December 3, 1922, located straddling the Regions of Valle d'Aosta and Piedmont, around the Gran Paradiso massif, managed by the Gran Paradiso National Park Authority, based in Turin. Extended for an area of 71.043,79 hectares, on a predominantly mountainous terrain, on the side French borders the National Park of Vanoise.
The history of the Gran Paradiso National Park is closely linked to the preservation of its symbolic animal: the ibex (Capra ibex). This ungulate, once widely spread at high altitudes, beyond the limit of the forest, over the entire Alpine arc has been the object of indiscriminate hunting for centuries. The reasons why the ibex was such a coveted prey by hunters were the most disparate: the succulence of its flesh, some parts of its body were considered medicinal, the grandeur of its horns sought as a trophy and even the aphrodisiac power attributed to one of its little bones (the cross of the heart), often used as a talisman. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was believed that this animal was now extinct throughout Europe, until the Aosta Valley forest inspector Joseph Delapierre discovered that in the impervious and steep valleys that descend from the Gran Paradiso massif survived a colony of about one hundred specimens.

Print only
Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Acrylic glass display
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
