Original Acrylic on panel by Alan Harris, contemporary British artist.
Gothic Quarter, Barcelona. Acrylic on panel 24x20
This is another version of the famous ‘Bishop’s street’, where the stunning neo-Gothic bridge is known locally as the ‘Pont del Bisbe‘ or ‘Bishop’s Bridge’. Although the bridge blends in seamlessly with its Medieval surroundings, was in fact constructed in 1928. The architect’s ambition was to construct a series of new buildings inspired by the dominant Gothic style of the area, but the government only validated the construction of the Bishop’s Bridge. The architect, disappointed with the decision, secretly incorporated a hidden skull with a dagger inside. Legend says anyone who crosses the bridge and sees the skull will fall prey to an evil spell.
A superb gift for Barcelona lovers alike.
Alan works with a variety of mediums such as oils, watercolours, pastel, mixed media, sculptures, and engage the viewer with atmospheric detail.
