In 1986, the sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs accepted the most riskyand complex project of his entire career: the groups of sculptures ofthe Sagrada Familia's Passion Façade.The sculptor, who had gained remarkable prestige with an impressivecareer, made it a condition that he would work with complete freedom,using his own personal style: out of respect for Gaudí, he did notwant to disrupt his work nor try to imitate it. The angular shapes and expression of Subirachs' figures on this façade emphasise theportrayal of Christ's suffering and death, contrasting with therealism of the Nativity Façade, which is an expression of life. Thislittle book will guide you upwards on a journey through the sculptures on the Passion Façade, which represents the tragic last days of thelife of Jesus Christ: from the Last Supper to the Ascension. You willalso find drawings and plaster models used by the artist to preparethe sculptures that were carved in stone in his study and later placed in their final position using a crane, with the artist finishing them on site. A sculptural ensemble of extraordinary proportions.
