Can a painting beat a photograph?
We took artist Shane Record to one of the most photographed places in the world and gave him a brush instead of a camera.
Mont Saint-Michel has been captured millions of times — on phones, on cameras, on postcards. But Shane Record did something different. He stood in front of one of the most iconic views in Europe and painted it. Every brushstroke a decision. Every shadow a choice. The result is an original painting that exists exactly once.
And we're giving it away. Enter your details below for your chance to win the original Shane Record painting of Mont Saint-Michel.
