The art of painting with wood
Autora Mónica Piera Miquel. Fotografíes de Pere Roura Malagelada.
The Art of Painting on Wood brings us closer to an extraordinary piece of furniture, the roll-top desk of the Conde del Asalto, recently added to Àngel Surroca’s collection. Mónica Piera and Pere Roura guide us through its rich marquetry, fine woods, and the meticulous craftsmanship behind its creation.
The desk is the protagonist. We appreciate its beauty through the combined gaze of a historian and a photographer. At the same time, the book explores the historical context, the symbolic meaning of the decoration, and the creativity of pre-industrial furniture makers. It is an invitation to admire antique furniture as art, craft, and design.
