EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite original sketch, entitled "Angel," is a stunning work of art created by the renowned Catalan modernist artist, Lluis Domenech i Montaner (1850-1923). The sketch was produced during the 19th century and is now part of the decorative collection of the Comillas Pontifical University in Comillas, Cantabria, Spain. Domenech i Montaner was a leading figure in the Spanish modernist movement, known for his innovative designs and contemporary interpretations of traditional themes. In this sketch, he masterfully captures the ethereal beauty and grace of an angel, with delicate wings outstretched and a serene expression on its face. The angel's flowing robes and intricate details are rendered with remarkable skill and precision, showcasing the artist's exceptional drafting abilities. The "Angel" sketch was likely commissioned for the decoration of the Comillas Pontifical University, a prestigious institution of higher learning founded in 1899 by the Marquis of Comillas. The university's collection of modernist art and design is a testament to the Marquis' vision of creating a contemporary and forward-thinking educational institution. This beautiful sketch is a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Spain, and the enduring influence of modernist art on contemporary design and aesthetics. The delicate lines and intricate details of the sketch invite the viewer to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the divine, while the modernist style showcases the artist's innovative approach to traditional themes. The "Angel" sketch is a true masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate audiences over a century after it was created.
