The Xalet del Catllaràs, about 80 miles from Barcelona, was built in 1905 and commissioned by Eusebi Güell, Gaudí’s lifelong patron. Güell was the owner of a cement company with mines in the region and he needed somewhere to house the engineers, who would help extract the coal for his factories.
Hundred-year reveal: Catalonian chalet confirmed as Gaudí work in centenary year
Xalet del Catllaràs contains elements of architect’s naturalistic style, expressed in works such as Park Güell and Sagrada Família

A great opportunity to see an artist's work in progress; the grid he has drawn is still visible on the top right hand side.

I do like the mixture of melancholy and resilience of a lone, wind-battered tree on top of Dartmoor on a foggy winter's day.

It's so gross, & I'm seeing folks that should really know better using it to upscale pics or create entirely imagined scenarios. Then they're like "but we labeled it as AI" when one of the things AI does best is to divorce things from context, rendering that little AI asterisk bullshit immediately
The point is--Generative AI is being used to create fake additional content for even niche historical topics, like the exhibits within a World's Fair pavilion. These images are going to continue to get more realistic. It's dissipointing to have to add this new layer of vigilance to research.
