Museu CAU FERRAT , SITGES



1- Museu CAU FERRAT , SITGES


2- Museum

3-Built in 1893-94 as residence and studio of the catalan artist Santiago Rusiñol; after his death it became a Museum in 1933.

4- It was the seat of literary competitions during theFestes Modernist (Art Nouveau festivals) between 1892 and 1899. Inside you discover a great amount of paintings, by Santiago Rusiñol himself, Picasso, Ramón Casas, Ignacio Zuloaga; there is also a collection of iron forged piecies and glass pieces.

5- A centre of  catalan art and temporary exhibitions; a temple of Modernism.

6-I was surprised to find two splendid paintings by El Greco :"The tears of Saint Peter" and "Mary Magdalene repentant". Very impressive!!

7- I was fascinated by Santiago Rusiñol’s  personality and talent and also by the variety of artworks he collected, something he regarded as a new religion.
