A variegated, changing and intimate happiness

The Catalonian businessman has an indisputable altar in his house to kneel down: Morning in Kom Ombo, the famous 1854 picture of David Roberts, an icon of the romantic and compelling vision of the land of the Pharaohs. The painting, which shows the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris half-buried in the sand, it’s in the dining room of Jordi Clos, partially covered by some glass jars with seeds and a stunning piece of the stone head of Hathor. Jacinto Antón, an expert in archeology and primitive cultures, discovers for us this marvelous collection of antiquities from Egypt and many other places that inhabit the house of the employer.
