DESCRIPTION
“Interior of the Els Quatre Gats Tavern.” Photographer unknown, Barcelona, 1901
Photograph on paper.
Seen at the table in the background is PERE ROMEU, the tavern owner and central figure of the establishment.
It shows slight scuffs and signs of age.
Measurements: 18 × 20.5 cm.
Dated 1901, this photograph is a valuable record of the everyday atmosphere at Els Quatre Gats, a vital hub of social life in Modernist Barcelona. Unlike the empty views of the venue, the presence of patrons gathered around the tables offers a glimpse into its true role as a place for gatherings and conversation.
The identification of Pere Romeu in the background enhances its documentary value. A businessman, cultural promoter, and the heart and soul of the establishment, he was closely linked to the artistic circle that transformed the tavern into one of the iconic venues of Catalan Modernism.
