Descendent
of an important dynasty of architects and master builders, Jeroni Granell
(1867-1931) is one who has contributed most to Barcelona’s, with the
Eixample, becoming the world capital of Modernism. Visits to some of his
buildings constitute a tour of the most authentic and beautiful of
Modernistic Barcelona: number 121 Balmes street, 582 Gran Vía, 122 Girona
street, 45 Casp street, 35, 61, 262 and 264 Major de Gràcia, 84 Roger de
Llúria, 293 Rosselló, 127 Bailèn and 260 Còrsega street, are examples of the
perfect symbioses produced among the architects dedicated to creating beauty
and the bourgeoisie prepared to meet the cost to enjoy it. Granell’s message
stresses thoroughness, simplification and elegance. He also works with
ceramics and is a master of stained glass. |
