Gijon, 1869 -1919 · Social naturalism and Asturian identity
On board, in the fields, after the storm or around bread, Alvarez Sala paints Asturia through work, danger and daily solidarity.
Ventura Alvarez Sala was born and died in Gijon, from 1869 to 1919. Trained at the Municipal Drawing School, with Dionisio Canal then in Madrid in San Fernando and in the workshops of Manuel Ojeda and José Jiménez Aranda, he developed a regional naturalism with strong social dimension. All on the port side!, painted in 1897, opens this path: low-angle view, the wet cover of a ship, its reflections, its instruments and the captain's gesture immerse the viewer in maritime work. The Promise after the storm, Asturias, from 1997, opens this path: low-angle view, the wet cover of a ship, its reflections, its instruments and the captain's gesture immerse the viewer in maritime work.

The Promise after the storm, Asturias, from 1997, opens this path: low-angle view Our daily bread, a large canvas from 1915, closes the painter's monumental career and earns him a first medal. Between sea and land, his compositions refuse the picturesque anecdote: collective work, risks and subsistence become the real subjects. The "Ventura Alvarez Sala" selection notably compares Our daily bread and The promise after the storm of Asturias. Its reading favors the atmosphere.
At Alvarez Sala, Asturia is not a regional setting: it is a community held together by work, bread and the memory of storms.
