🏗 A Masterpiece of Structural Engineering and Artistic Perspective

This striking Sculptural Watercolour® presents the Le Viaduc des Égratz, an engineering marvel that bridges past and present. The artwork dramatically captures the sweeping curves of the elevated motorway, juxtaposed against the rugged mountain backdrop, bathed in warm twilight hues.

🌄 A Journey Through Time and Landscape

• The towering viaduct columns stretch skyward, reinforcing a sense of monumental scale.
• The dramatic Alpine scenery behind evokes the region’s natural beauty and history.
• The composition contrasts the modern highway with the historic challenges of traversing the Arve Valley, once navigable only on horseback or by mule.

🚘 The Road to Mont Blanc

Once a treacherous passage for 19th-century travelers, the Viaduc des Égratz now seamlessly connects the Autoroute Blanche to the Mont Blanc Tunnel, one of Europe’s most vital trade routes.
