Only a few of the Gaudi-designed rooms have survived; others were re-worked or remodeled by a century of succeeding owner and architects. Of interest mostly in these rooms are the ceilings, which give ample evidence of Gaudi's interest in nature in both design and decor.
Curtain rod, probably not from Home Depot |
Wall treatment |
Olives |
In the main, dining hall...to display Vicens' collection of Torrescassana paintings |
Busy, yes? The flowers were added by a later decorator/architect |
Another Torrescassana...whose works are in the National Catalan Art Museum, the Prado, and the Louvre |
Detail...moving toward Impressionism... |
Trompe l'oeil |
Ceiling of the smoking room; modeled after something in the Alhambra Gaudi had studied |
Bedroom ceiling...his and hers? |
Present view from the smoking room |
Passion flower |
Living room dome |
Street view...nearly always someone taking pix of the place |
