A newly surfaced three-second video may feature the renowned architect Antoni Gaudí, as suggested by art historian Beli Artigas. The brief footage shows a man dressed in a suit and boater hat with a neatly groomed white beard crossing the frame, pausing momentarily to look to the side before disappearing from view. This man, captured exiting a wedding in central Barcelona in 1922, raises the possibility that it could be Gaudí himself, as surmised by Artigas following her recent receipt of the family film.

Art historian Beli Artigas has been in contact with the descendants of the Costa-Artigas family, who revealed the existence of a film from their grandparents’ wedding, claiming that Gaudí was a guest at the event. The descendants reached out to Artigas after she wrote an article about the Costa house in Sitges, leading to their decision to share the anecdote about Gaudí’s potential presence at the wedding. This familial narrative is now being examined in light of the visual evidence presented in the newly discovered footage.

The implications of this discovery could add a significant visual piece to the legacy of Gaudí, best known for his innovative and influential architectural works. If verified, this video could enhance our understanding of the social circles Gaudí moved in, and it would serve as a rare glimpse into the life of one of Spain's most iconic figures, further merging historical narratives with modern technology in the study of cultural heritage.
