Mont Blanc from the Aiguille du Midi, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 60 x 80 x 5.5 cm, F38, 2012

This breathtaking Sculptural Watercolour® captures the striking peaks of Mont Blanc from the Aiguille du Midi, a world-renowned viewpoint accessed by cable car from Chamonix, France. The painting’s sculptural depth creates natural shadows that emphasize the rugged grandeur of the Alps.

To the left, Les Gendarmes ("The Policemen"), a dramatic group of granite rocks along the Arête des Cosmiques, rise in sharp contrast against the brilliant white of Mont Blanc and the deep grey of the surrounding vertical rockface. This ridge is a well-known route for climbers, and the artist’s composition captures both the scale and challenge of this alpine terrain.

🏔️ A Landscape Under Threat

Over the past century, the Mont Blanc region has warmed by an alarming 1.8 degrees Celsius, with most of this change occurring in recent decades. As the climate shifts, glaciers retreat, and rock formations like those in this painting become increasingly unstable, altering the alpine landscape forever.
