Essay on a museum visit by Andrés Varadé

1. EVARISTO VALLE
Last Tuesday, 12th May, my class went to Evaristo
Valle's museum. There, we saw an exhibition and we learnt about
Evaristo's life.
Evaristo was born in 1873 here, in Asturias. People at that
time wore clothes with a lot of buttons because the zip wasn't
invented. His mother was a housewife and she could sew, cook and
did other things, while his father was a judge.

2. When Evaristo was young, he learnt how to draw, he did
some portraits, and his father showed it to his friends. Evaristo
also had to travel to Puerto Rico and the Philippines.
Unfortunalety for Evaristo, his father died in Puerto Rico,
and he returned to Asturias.

3. Later, when he was older, he travelled to Paris, where he was
happy, and he sold some of his pictures to his niece, but when
Evaristo returned to Asturias to stay forever, he died, and his

4. niece Maria made a museum with his pictures .
