Església de Santa Anna

In 1945, he decorated the Blessed Sacrament chapel in the church of Santa Anna in Barcelona. The ensemble combines traditional depictions of the Eucharist and Old Testament prefigurations across the apse, vault, and walls. The main novelty lies in the groups of contemporary worshippers at the bottom, presided over by Pope Pius XII, which include people connected to the church, the Miquel family, and the painter himself.
