PAINTING THE ALPS
Mountains particularly fascinated artists in the eighteenth century, who appropriated those spaces and defined new guidelines for that type of landscape.
PORTRAYING THE MOUNTAIN
The discovery of the alpine chain in the eighteenth century was accompanied by an abundant production of images.
ALPINE PHOTOGRAPHY
Since the second half of the eighteen hundreds, photographers began documenting life and tourism in the valleys as well as climbs to the main Alpine summits, heavy camera equipment in tow.
ALPINE FILMAKING
The western Alps have been the set where cinema at high altitudes took its first steps, a few years after the first projections of the Lumière brothers in Paris in 1895.
