I painted a tree on each side along with the sunrise. I could show you but those Clematis vines are blocking it. Well...you will just have to check back later this fall and I'll show you the sides.
Chuckle!
“The Turtle and the Swallows" is a relief sculpture located on the mailbox of the “Casa de l'Ardiaca”, a Gothic building next to the Cathedral of Barcelona. It was designed in 1902 by the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner (Barcelona, 1850-1923) and executed by the modernist sculptor Alfons Juyol i Bach (Barcelona, 1862-1917).
The “Casa de l'Ardiaca”, originally constructed in the 12th century, was built into the remnants of the ancient Roman wall. It once served as the residence of the archdeacons of the cathedral. In the late 15th century, Archdeacon Lluís Desplà i d’Oms (Barcelona, 1444-1524) transformed the building into a Gothic palace adorned with Renaissance details, including a central courtyard with a fountain and an elegant upper gallery.
