"A contemporary of Edward Whymper, friend of Leslie Stephen and of James eccles, whose sister he married, the painter Gabriel Loppé lived through the golden age of mountaineering, that of the conquest of summits at the end of the 19th century. Bewitched by the almost supernatural world of altitude, ice and granite, as a seasoned mountaineer, he took his easel to the summits, where no one had imagined painting or drawing." Translated from the abstract. VG, penning on endpage .
