Casa Vicens, 2: Interiors

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
