Catalan Modernisme is an artistic and architectural movement that emerged in Catalonia, Spain, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characterized by its unique blend of organic forms, vibrant colors, and intricate details, often inspired by nature. This movement sought to create a distinct Catalan identity and was part of a broader European trend known as Art Nouveau.
Key figures of Catalan Modernisme include the architect Antoni Gaudí, whose works like the Sagrada Família and Park Güell exemplify the style's innovative use of materials and forms. Other notable artists and architects, such as Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch, contributed to the movement, leaving a lasting impact on Catalonia's cultural landscape.
