Built from 1904 to 1907 and one of the most celebrated of Gaudi’s designs. The building has references throughout to St George and the dragon, patron saint to Catalonia. He managed to work in a refreshing, light style when compared to the contemporary structures of Barcelona.
The materials used in this model are plaster lead, copper and brass. The model includes patinated copper foil on the upper face, the area that Gaudi has decorated with ceramic plates on the actual building The building would seem to be difficult to date and of no definite style, a forerunner to Disney. Gaudi was a spiritual man and a loner and fought for recognition for part of his life. At times his work received derision, however his work was spared through the civil war as being of artistic merit.
The last 2 remaining models have now been released although some are reserved. Measuring 6.5in x 11.5in x 3, the model has become highly collectable.
