Gabriel Loppé: Peintre-Alpiniste by William Mitchell.
William Mitchell of John Mitchell Fine Paintings has published a monograph on the life and work of the artist Gabriel Loppé (1825-1913).
A prolific mountaineer as well as a painter and photographer, Loppé was largely self-taught. Working at a time when both mountaineering as an activity and painting en plein air were rapidly growing in popularity, he was the first artist to work at higher altitudes during climbing expeditions and to depict ‘la haute montagne’.
