Today, therefore, we will talk about colour in Gaud\u00ed\u2019s work, including white, a very special colour at Torre Bellesguard.<\/p>\n<h3>Nature is colour<\/h3>\n<p>Before graduating, Gaud\u00ed wrote a kind of diary known as <em>The Reus Manuscript<\/em> (1870\u20131878). It is one of the few documents written by him. In this document, he demonstrates his knowledge of Egyptian, Greek and Muslim temples. One of the most moving passages is the one in which he recalls the importance of colour, but also the need to accept the patina of time, or in his own words:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOrnamentation has been, is and will be coloured. Nature presents us with no object that is monotonously uniform. Everything in vegetation, geology, topography and the animal kingdom always maintains a contrast of colour, more or less vivid. And that is why we must necessarily colour, in part or entirely, an architectural element\u2014a colouring that may perhaps disappear, but which the hand of time will take care to replace with another of its own, precious one: that of antiquity\u201d (1)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Later on, Gaud\u00ed stopped writing and what we know are phrases preserved by his collaborators. Thanks to them, we know that the architect continued to express opinions about colour. For example, he told C\u00e8sar Martinell, one of his first biographers: \u201cThe Greeks, whose temples were made of Pentelic marble\u2014a crystalline marble like sugar, transparent and of a beauty far from ordinary\u2014did not hesitate to paint them; because colour is life and we must not despise this element if we wish to infuse life into our works\u201d (2)<\/p>\n<h3>The colours of the mountain<\/h3>\n<p>At Torre Bellesguard we have a fine example of Gaud\u00ed\u2019s colour palette and the subtlety of its use. For instance, to evoke the splendour of the House of Barcelona in the Middle Ages, the architect used straight lines and ornamental details such as battlements and mullioned windows. However, to break the monotony of the Gothic style, Gaud\u00ed designed the fa\u00e7ade as a gigantic stone <em>trencad\u00eds<\/em>, full of unexpected geometric shapes. On the other hand, the stone, which comes from the neighbouring mountain range of Collserola, allowed the house to blend in with its natural surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>At least, that was the aim when there were no buildings around. As if that were not enough, the fa\u00e7ade appears green, but if we look at it carefully, it is actually made up of fragments of different colours and shades. It was Gaud\u00ed himself who distributed them in various shapes and sizes in order to break, as we were saying, the monotony of the fa\u00e7ade. Nevertheless, depending on the sunlight\u2014or its absence\u2014these different tones make the appearance of the building warmer or cooler. A lighting effect that, incidentally, at Torre Bellesguard, as in any building located near the Mediterranean, Gaud\u00ed considered ideal because \u201cVirtue lies in the middle point; Mediterranean means in the middle of the earth. On its shores, with medium light at 45 degrees\u2014which best defines bodies and reveals their form\u2014is where the great artistic cultures have flourished, due to this balance of light: neither too much nor too little\u201d (3)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-190895\" src=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-02-102910.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"718\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-02-102910.png 718w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-02-102910-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-02-102910-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-02-102910-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-02-102910-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The children of the Tolkien Group and the Agatha Christie Group from Escola Horitz\u00f3 in Barcelona visited us in March 2023. Afterwards, they made a drawing. One of them perfectly captures the relationship between the building and the sun&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>The colours of the sun<\/h3>\n<p>Once inside, we are struck by the shape and colours of the three-dimensional stained-glass window, which represents the Virgin Mary and the Star of the Three Wise Men. It is even more impressive when we learn that on Christmas Day, the sunlight, as it passes through this stained glass, reflects an eight-pointed star around the oculus of the front column of the entrance hall and a circle on the opposite wall.

Over time, however, the study of light led Gaud\u00ed to develop a highly distinctive use of the colour white. We begin to see this at the Teresian College, the site of one of his most praised works: the gallery of white parabolic arches, where the interplay of light and shadow reinforces the spiritual symbolism of the building, inspired by the mysticism of Saint Teresa of Jesus. \u201cGlory is light; light gives joy, and joy is the happiness of the spirit\u201d (4), said the architect of God, as he is often called, and added: \u201clight is harmony, it gives relief, it decorates\u201d (5)\u2014an objective he achieves through original courtyards and skylights to make the most of natural light, but also in combination with white surfaces.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-190907\" src=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/049_Col\u00b7legi_de_les_Teresianes_arcs_parabolics-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/049_Col\u00b7legi_de_les_Teresianes_arcs_parabolics-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/049_Col\u00b7legi_de_les_Teresianes_arcs_parabolics-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/049_Col\u00b7legi_de_les_Teresianes_arcs_parabolics-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/049_Col\u00b7legi_de_les_Teresianes_arcs_parabolics.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>We also see this at Torre Bellesguard, designed in such a way that both outside and inside, the sunlight\u2014the great painter of Nature\u2014changes according to the time of day and the season. At the same time, the purity of the colour white highlights the arches and sinuous forms of Gaud\u00ed\u2019s distinctive style in his most mature period. It should be clarified at this point that the current mosaics, predominantly blue in colour, were added later by Dom\u00e8nec Sugranyes, one of his collaborators. Nevertheless, Gaud\u00ed wanted the presence of the colour white, as we can see in this old photograph.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-190911\" src=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2.-Foto-del-rebedor-sense-decoracio-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2.-Foto-del-rebedor-sense-decoracio-1.jpg 502w, https:\/\/bellesguardgaudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2.-Foto-del-rebedor-sense-decoracio-1-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/>In short, a fa\u00e7ade and an entrance conceived for the enjoyment of subtle plays of light and shadow, as well as the colours of the stained glass. To conclude, a quote from Galdric Santana, director of the Gaud\u00ed Chair, commissioner of the Gaud\u00ed Year and conservation architect of Torre Bellesguard. When asked why Torre Bellesguard should be visited, he replied, among other reasons, \u201cand obviously its plastic quality, its interiors, this effect of light on the surface that creates cavity, light, cavity, light, cavity&#8230; these effects of Mediterranean light, which here, moreover, you see in a direct line\u201d (6)<\/p>\n<h3>Notes<\/h3>\n<p>(1) Puig-Boada, Isidre (1980) <em>The Thought of Gaud\u00ed.
