The exhibition Vertical no limits. Mountains' photography, the first of its kind, is inspired by the claim that photography invented the mountain landscape by revealing it to the eyes of the world. Inheriting a certain idea of mountains and the sublime, it was inextricably entwined with pictorial Romanticism. Until the 19th century, mountains were considered “the land of God”, a cursed and dreamlike place. The pioneers of mountain photography revealed summits that had not yet been conquered. With almost 300 prints on show, three quarters of which are from the Musée de l’Elysée’s collections, the exhibition gives pride of place to prints from every period, including many contemporary works.
