Alexandre Calame malte insgesamt drei Versionen von dem Sujet Vue prise à la Handeck, zwei befinden sich in Bern: im Kunstmuseum und im Alpinen Museum der Schweiz. Das vorliegende Werk wurde nach dem Vorbild des sich im Kunstmuseum Bern befindeten Gemäldes, welches die Berner Regierung 1836 erwarb, gemalt. Laut Alexandre Calame verleiht die etwas kleinere Komposition dem Gemälde eine pointierte Ausdrucksstärke durch die farblich und vom Lichteffekt her naturgetreuere Ausführung.
Alexandre Calame painted three versions of the subject Vue prise à la Handeck, two of which are to be found in Berne: in the Kunstmuseum and the Alpine Museum of Switzerland. The model for the work in question was the painting in the Kunstmuseum Berne that the Bernese government purchased in 1836. According to Alexandre Calame, this smaller version of the painting has a more pointed expressive power, conveyed through its colours and captured light that strongly resemble nature.
