Gaudí’s work was greatly influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. His exceptional style is characterised by the depiction of organic forms, abstract lines, and extraordinary mosaics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaudí rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensional scale models and moulding the details as he conceived them. As such Gaudí left very few written documents, many of which were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) following a fire set by anti-clerical groups that led to the destruction of the architect’s studio located inside the \u003cem\u003eSagrada Familia\u003c\/em\u003e church in Barcelona. Reproduced here is the \u003cem\u003eManuscrito de Reus\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eManuscript of Reus\u003c\/em\u003e), the only remaining written document of Gaudi’s. The notebook is a kind of student diary in which he collected diverse impressions of architecture and decorating, putting forward his ideas on the subject. Included are an analysis of the Christian church and of his ancestral home, as well as a text about ornamentation and comments on the design of a desk. The manuscript is now kept at \u003cem\u003eReus Museum\u003c\/em\u003e in his native Catalonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther embellishing our cover are Gaudí’s incredible mosaics from his iconic salamander sculpture alongside an image of the \u003cem\u003eBasílica de la Sagrada Familia\u003c\/em\u003e, his architectural masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manuscript of Reus by Antoni Gaudí\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1873–1878\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 325 × 235 × 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gaudi, The Manuscript of Reus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Embellished Manuscripts Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antoni Gaudi Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds up to 40 sheets of A4 paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic closure with 3 pairs of covered magnets keeps it securely fastened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpandable fabric sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PA9859-1 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781439798591\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts, bringing the same care and craftsmanship found in its celebrated journals to every accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54386163450184,"sku":"PA9859-1","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5114\/5032\/files\/9781439798591_Front_HighRes.png?v=1792779253","url":"https:\/\/shop.penandpaper.co.uk\/products\/paperblanks-gaudi-the-manuscript-of-reus-document-folder-pa9859-1","provider":"The Pen and Paper Stationery Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
