Francisco Simplicio from Barcelona is one of the early greats of lutherie after Torres. His fabulous design and technical mastery thereof show him to be a passionate artist of his time. Barcelona was a center of Art Nouveau second only to Paris. Home of GaudÃ, Miró and Picasso, it also boasted advanced city planning such as the Eixample neighborhood. Vintage guitars from this era are rare and highly sought after.
