'Gaudí i les Quarante Hores'

0 Votes

In 2016, during the inventory process of the monastery of Santa Elisabet (also known as Sant Jeroni), the restorer Pere Terrasa identified two pieces inside the sacristy that, due to their technical and formal characteristics, differed from the rest of the collection.

They were two tapestries with the anagrams of Christ, whose authorship has been identified thanks to the publication of Antonio Gaudí. Mi itinerario con el arquitecto (1960) (Antonio Gaudí. My itinerary with the architect), by Joan Matamala Flotats, where he describes the collaboration at the beginning of 1912 of the Catalan architect with the nuns of Sant Jeroni to renew the tapestries used on the days of the Quarante Hores liturgy.

The pieces that make up the exhibition, which is now on display at Can Balaguer, are all unpublished, so it is a unique opportunity to get to know a little-known facet of Gaudí, that of textile design.

Several activities have been scheduled around the exhibition:

Saturday November 26. 12:00 pm: Lecture on the conservation of textile heritage, by Cyrca

Saturday December 10. 11:00 a.m.: visit to the monastery of Santa Elisabet, by Pere Terrasa

Thursday December 22. 7:00 p.m.: lecture by Maria Garganté on Antoni Gaudí's embroideries in Sant Jeroni

Saturday January 7. 11:00 a.m.: visit to the Monastery of Santa Elisabet, by Pere Terrasa

Saturday January 28. 12:00 pm: Lecture on the Renaissance embroideries of Sant Jeroni, by Rafael Cornudella
