Watercolor numbered print by Matthew Fletcher-- Zermatt ~ Winter Kirch

Bought this directly from the artist personally on a trip to Zermatt, Switzerland. Subject is a snowy alpine village scene featuring traditional wooden chalets and the iconic Matterhorn peak in Zermatt, Switzerland Matthew Fletcher is an English landscape artist originally from Yorkshire/Lancashire. In 1991, he relocated to Switzerland, where he lived and worked for nearly 30 years before eventually returning to the UK. He became a beloved local fixture in the Zermatt community. During the summer months, he would typically set up outdoor displays along the paths leading up from the Gornergrat mountain railway station, selling his highly detailed, fine-brush watercolors directly to tourists and alpine climbers. His process involved meticulous structural pencil drafting followed by layering paint using specialized, ultra-fine squirrel-hair brushes to preserve texture and landscape clarity The original piece was painted in 1996. This print is brand new. It has never been out of the package and was not displayed. Matted watercolor and pen print titled Zermatt ~ Winter Kirchplatz The scene captures the historic Kirchplatz (Church Square) in the car-free alpine village of Zermatt, Switzerland, heavily blanketed in winter snow. The background is dominated by the iconic, pyramid-shaped peak of the Matterhorn Numbered 434/600
