Yes, the artist knew how to charm a room and how to cut. The whole Barcelona skyline shows up here in plain sight: Sagrada Familia, the bell tower, the tiled domes, and a row of pink, cream and ochre townhouses with cactus and flowers tumbling along the front.

Put it on the wall and a quiet room gets a holiday in it. The cream background keeps things calm, and the soft pinks, terracotta and olive green do the talking without shouting.

It sits well above a sideboard in the hallway, over a desk in a study, or on a long living-room wall where you want something to look at.

Pair it with pale oak or warm walnut, linen, rattan and a few stoneware pots. The canvas softens the edges and leans into the painterly feel.

Don’t try to compete next to it one big print nearby and the whole wall starts arguing.
