Sculptures by Josep Maria Subirachs on the Passion facade of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
The sculptures on this facade, as well as the carving style, were both intriguing and fascinating to me.
Their sharp geometric shapes cast harsh shadows, and their lack of ornamentation (in stark contrast to the nativity facade) lets the viewer to focus more on the shapes and textures.
Antoni Gaudi designed this facade in 1911, with a final draft completed in 1917 that served as a guide for future generations.
Josep Maria Subirachs was entrusted with the sculptural embellishment of the Passion front in 1986, and between 1987 and 2009, he worked on bringing this side of the temple to life.
