Description

La Sagrada Familia (1992) (19,7×15,7in) is a vibrant, hand-colored silver gelatin photograph of the iconic La Sagrada Familia, taken in 1992 by the artist Elizabeth Lennard. A unique piece in a varied edition 1/3. The image captures the soaring, intricate spires of the famous basilica designed by Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona. The towers, rendered in rich purples, oranges, and greens, stand in stark contrast against a bright, bold yellow sky, creating a surreal and dreamlike atmosphere.

The hand-coloring technique brings a painterly quality to the photograph, adding depth and intensity to the architectural details. The deep purples of the stonework highlight the texture and complexity of Gaudi’s design, while the vibrant oranges and greens adorning the tops of the spires draw the viewer’s attention upward, emphasizing the organic, almost otherworldly elements of the structure.

The yellow background, an artistic departure from the natural sky, transforms the image into something more abstract and contemporary, elevating the visual impact of the architecture. The surreal color scheme amplifies the already fantastical nature of La Sagrada Familia, making the basilica appear almost like a futuristic monument.

This piece expertly blends photography with painterly techniques, capturing the grandeur of Gaudi’s masterpiece while adding a personal, artistic interpretation through the hand-coloring process. The overall effect is both striking and evocative, celebrating the fusion of architecture, history, and modern artistic expression.
