These are the four titles of the canonization process, according to the Roman Catholic Church. Antoni Gaud\u00ed has made headlines because, during the celebration of Holy Week, he was declared &#8220;Venerable&#8221; by Pope Francis, who passed away while we were writing this article. In fact, he signed Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s decree while still recovering from his respiratory infection.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The next step is to declare him blessed. A step that will have to be taken by a new pope. However, as many articles have been published about Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s beatification, we will not say anything about this topic here. We just want to recall an anecdote that, in light of this process, seems prophetic, and it is the fact that the so-called &#8220;architect of God&#8221;, even in life, was described as &#8220;venerable&#8221; and even shown as a saint.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The most venerable bearded man&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In 1893, the Artistic Circle of Saint Luke was founded, an institution with the aim of bringing together artists and people aligned with the religious ideas of Bishop Torras i Bages, a great friend of Gaud\u00ed. The architect himself was one of the first members, as were the Figueras, the family that owned Bellesguard. Among the founders of the Circle, the Llimona brothers stand out. Josep was the sculptor and collaborated with Gaud\u00ed on the Sagrada Familia. Joan, who was a painter, frequented the church of San Felipe Neri, where both had the habit of attending mass and singing Gregorian music late in the day. In fact, this was the church Gaud\u00ed was heading to the afternoon he was run over.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the oratory of this church, there is a painting called &#8220;Praise be to God&#8221;. It was painted by Joan Llimona in 1902, the year Gaud\u00ed was finishing the construction of Torre Bellesguard. In it, Saint Philip Neri, a 16th-century Italian mystic, is shown during the ceremony of the consecration of the Holy Mass. Look closely at the saint&#8217;s face. Indeed, his features are those of Gaud\u00ed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-154801\" src=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Joan_Llimona_-_San_Felipe_Neri_en_la_consagracion_de_la_Santa_Misa-230x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"542\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Joan_Llimona_-_San_Felipe_Neri_en_la_consagracion_de_la_Santa_Misa-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Joan_Llimona_-_San_Felipe_Neri_en_la_consagracion_de_la_Santa_Misa-768x1002.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Joan_Llimona_-_San_Felipe_Neri_en_la_consagracion_de_la_Santa_Misa-600x783.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Joan_Llimona_-_San_Felipe_Neri_en_la_consagracion_de_la_Santa_Misa.jpg 777w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The painter, on one occasion, confessed that the idea of using his friend as a model came to him because he was &#8220;the most illustrious and most venerable bearded man one could find in the oratory every day at the evening function&#8221;. Not content with one painting, he made a second one, where, once again, he used the &#8220;venerable bearded man&#8221; as a model to paint Philip Neri. In this second painting, we see the Italian saint on the mountain of Onofre, in Rome, accompanied by a group of children with musical instruments.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-154805\" src=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5fa3c47c54e64-300x145.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5fa3c47c54e64-300x145.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5fa3c47c54e64-600x290.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5fa3c47c54e64.jpeg 655w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>And in heaven, what will we be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The musical context of the second painting is important for several reasons. The main one is the fact that the architect and the painter shared a great passion for Gregorian chant. A mutual friend was the musician Llu\u00eds Millet, the founder of the Orfe\u00f3 Catal\u00e0, one of the most important cultural institutions of that time, and also the founder of the music chapel of San Felipe Neri.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">What would Gaud\u00ed have said about the beatification process of his figure? An initiative, remember, adopted in 1992, that is, long after his death. Would Gaud\u00ed have wished to be &#8220;venerable&#8221;, &#8220;blessed&#8221;, or even a &#8220;saint&#8221;? We will never know, but perhaps his answer would have been the one he left written in the signature book of the Orfe\u00f3 Catal\u00e0: &#8220;In heaven, we will all be orfeonists&#8221;.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16448250,&quot;335559738&quot;:90,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">(1) Rius Santamaria, C., (2012), <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Gaud\u00ed i la quinta pot\u00e8ncia.
