Stilfser Joch II

Ortler Alps

View of the eastern ramp – the masterpiece of engineer Carlo Donegani. The first road was built between 1820 bis 1826 on behalf of the Austrian monarchy and was intended to connect Tyrol with Lombardy.
In 1859, Austria had to cede Lombardy to the Kingdom of Italy and the border ran over the Stelvio Pass. During World War I, there were fierce battles on the Stelvio, the traces of which can still be seen everywhere today.

The eastern ramp has 48 hairpin bends up to the summit. I photographed this view in early October, when it was unusually mild on the Stelvio Pass. The grass has long since turned yellow-red at this time of year and the soft light enhances this colorfulness. On the way to this viewpoint, you will repeatedly come across traces of the high mountain war.
This photograph also became the cover of the book “Passbilder – Landschaften der Alpenpässe.”

Print Sizes

I can recommend these sizes. As things don’t always fit perfectly in real life, the print can be made to your exact specifications, down to the centimetre.
If, for example, you would like the print to be 78 cm high, please use the ‘Custom Size’ calculator here or in the form below. The calculator will immediately work out the correct dimensions for the design.

How the format calculator works: Simply enter one side – the calculator will automatically determine the other, based on the aspect ratio of the image. This works for both portrait and landscape formats.

• Short side – the narrower side of your print
• Long side – the longer side of your print

Please enter the shorter side of the print here (or directly in the ‘short side’ field)

Perfect Print Size

The ideal size of the print is important – and people often choose prints that are too small.
The best method: cut out the desired image size from newspaper and attach it to the wall using masking tape or removable adhesive tape. Only then can you really see if the size is right.

The virtual room views also help you to assess the effect in a spatial context. And if you’d like, send me a photo of the room – I’ll create a personalised room view for you.

The prints can be collected, delivered in person or shipped worldwide. Postage costs depend on size, weight and destination; they are calculated on a case-by-case basis and shown in the quote. Within Germany, they range from €7.69 to €200, depending on size and weight.

Floater Frame

I particularly like this style of presentation and recommend it for photographs across many of my series — the result is elegant and timeless.
The photo paper is first mounted onto a 2 mm thick aluminium Dibond panel and then fitted into a bespoke wooden frame. Between the frame and the print is a ‘shadow gap’, a space approximately 5–7 mm wide. This visible gap between the image and the frame creates an impression of lightness and depth.

Classic smooth matt frames are available in white and black, alongside glazed wood frames and solid wood frames in various timber types. Profile depths range from 32 to 54 mm and profile widths from 5 to 15 mm.

Alu-Dibond Mount

The print is mounted onto a 3 mm thick Aluminium Dibond panel. An aluminium hanging frame on the back ensures easy and secure hanging. Thanks to its light weight, this version is particularly well suited for wall mounting. Simple and timelessly modern – a classic.

A protective wax coating (see below) may be advisable for additional protection.

Type: Archival Pigment Print
Paper: Baryta fine art paper

Acrylic Glass

The image is mounted behind 4 mm acrylic glass onto a 2 mm thick aluminium Dibond panel – the standard option, which is recommended for its high-quality finish. Alternatively, a version with 2 mm acrylic glass mounted onto 2 mm aluminium Dibond is available.
The timeless design of these acrylic glass prints is widely popular. An aluminium frame on the back ensures easy and secure hanging. Glossy and matt finishes are available.

Glossy glass offers maximum brilliance and depth, reflecting light when exposed to direct light. Matt glass is the elegant solution for bright rooms, as it absorbs reflections almost completely.

Paper: Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper

Bespoke Frames

Bespoke frames offer the opportunity to style the print to suit your personal taste and style. The frame colour, profile width and depth can be customised to ensure the presentation is perfectly tailored to the image.
Museum-grade glass can be used, which is virtually reflection-free and allows the colours and details of the print to be seen in their true form. This creates an elegant, clear and expressive presentation that emphasises the character of the print.

Only the Print

The print is also available unmounted and offers pure fine art quality on high-quality paper. The loose pigment print (inkjet) is usually shipped rolled up and should be processed or framed immediately upon receipt. Please do not store the inkjet print rolled up for any length of time.

If you wish to frame the print yourself or have it framed, we recommend an additional white border around the image. This makes mounting easier (e.g. behind a passe-partout) and protects the edges of the image.

To ensure the print lies perfectly flat, it can be mounted onto a 1 mm thick Forex board.

Wax coating (protection)

The wax is carefully applied by hand in an ultra-thin layer to the photograph, sealing the surface. This not only gives the image a sophisticated finish but also provides effective protection against scratches, dust and fingerprints. The wax sealant is particularly recommended for Prints mounted on Aluminium Dibond and Floater Frames.

My Recommendation

My two favourite finishes are the print in a Floating Frame and the one mounted on Alu-Dibond. For the Floating Frame, I recommend the brown-stained wooden frame; the walnut frame looks the best.
