Baroness Ros Altmann, a Conservative peer and former pensions minister, was 鈥渂lown away鈥� by the architecture of Antoni Gaudi on a trip to Barcelona in the 1990s. She鈥檚 been back several times and her wonder at Gaudi鈥檚 use of colour and natural shapes has not faded. She wants to find out more about the conservative, religious man who created such exuberant and flamboyant work. Gaudi biographer Gijs Van Hensbergen joins Ros and host Matthew Parris to explore Gaudi鈥檚 childhood, his personal life and how his Catholicism and love of Catalan nature informed his work.
