THE MASTERPIECE OF GENIUS GAUDI.
Today, June 10, marks 99 years since the death of architect Antoni Gaudí. For that reason, the work that occupies our space dedicated to Art today is the work of this great architect. An emblematic building, in a universal city: the Sagrada Familia de Barcelona. A temple designed by Gaudi, and which began its construction in 1882, but is still under construction.
La Sagrada Familia is the masterpiece of the great Catalan architect and is considered as the highest exponent of modernist Catalan architecture. As a whole reflects the artistic plenitude of Gaudi achieving a perfect harmony in the interrelation between structural and ornamental elements, between plastic and aesthetics, between function and form, since 1915 Gaudi devoted himself almost exclusively to the construction of this work, which imposes synthesis of all the architectural evolution of the great architect. After the making of the crypt and the abside, still in neo-gothic style, the rest of the temple conceived it in an organic style, imitating the forms of nature, where regulated geometric forms abound. In this way, Gaudí applied to the Holy Family all his previously experienced findings in works such as the Guell Park, managing to elaborate a structurally perfect temple at the same time harmonious and aesthetic.
During Gaudi's life only the crypt, the abside and, partially, the facade of the Nativity, of which Gaudi only saw crowned the tower of Saint Bernabe. At his death the construction has been under the direction of various architects.
Without a doubt, the Sagrada Familia is the most well-known, emblematic and characteristic monument in Barcelona. A beautiful city that lives facing the sea and is visited by thousands of tourists every day.
