The artist selected 100 aphorisms from the collection and illustrated them to create an exclusive piece of editorial design.


A beautiful project for a good cause
Barcelona is home to one of the world’s most important collections of classical literature, the Bernat Metge Collection. Preserving such a cultural treasure requires substantial funding, so to support its efforts, La Casa dels Clàssics commissioned three-time Spanish National Arts Prize winner Miquel Barceló to create a unique art book. The project involved revisiting the Aurea Dicta (Latin for ‘golden words’), reinterpreting 100 aphorisms from this iconic Catalan literary gem and transforming each one into a unique painting.
