CRITICAL
COMMENTARY
It consists of a series of diverse
works for the church of the School of Nuns of Jesús-Maria,
constructed by Joan Torras i Guardiola (1827-1910), currently
the Church of Sant Pacià, located in the district
of Sant Andreu del Palomar. Of special note is the mosaic
that covers the whole of the floor, of geometric design
and made of small pieces of diversely coloured marble,
attributed to the Italian mosaicist Luigi Pallarin, at
that time quite active in Barcelona. The mosaic was restored
between 1986 and 1989 by Lluís Bru.
Gaudí also made the choir stalls of the church
and four wooden wall lamps gilded with gold leaf, currently
conserved in the church of the school of Jesús-Maria
in Sant Gervasi, where they were transported when the
congregation moved.
