Baroque sgraffito in medieval Barcelona

The sgraffito Barcelona of the eighteenth century is an artisan city that will soon become a pre-industrial city. It is in this time of about 100 years when magnificent facades will be created dressed in beautiful decorations of Renaissance iconology that will end up generating a unique Catalan Baroque of French and Italian influences. Until the end of the eighteenth century, different decorations of sgraffito, painted or polychrome fresco or dry co-painted coexisted in Barcelona, both with faked joints with diamond tips, sgraffito panels, architectural scenography, bucolic scenes, upholstery, all generally made by using stencils (for systematization of the work) and polychrome, both fresh and dry, with mineral pigments.
