More than thirty descendants of the artistic Cerveto family will meet this Saturday in Tortosa. This reunion aims to give new momentum to the memory of a lineage with four generations of artists.

The lineage, started by Ramon Cerveto i Bestratén, a 19th-century sculptor from Tortosa, has left a deep imprint on local and national art. This event could be the beginning of new research and cultural projects.

History and legacy of the Cerveto family

The origins with Ramon Cerveto i Bestratén

Ramon Cerveto (1829-1906) founded a reference art school in Madrid. His work and that of his lineage have influenced various artistic branches over four generations. In Tortosa, his name is synonymous with art and tradition.

The artistic dynasty and its influence

The descendants of Cerveto have expanded the legacy with painting, sculpture, and other disciplines. Many direct grandchildren have recently passed away, which has accelerated the need to preserve the family memory.
