Discovering the Puget Museum
Puget Viñas is considered the father of Ibizan painting of the 20th century, teacher of, amongst others, ‘Pormany’.
The work of the impressionist painter Narcís Puget Viñas is exhibited in this house, especially rehabilitated. As well as the Puget Viñas collection, we also find works -fundamentally watercolours – by his son, Narcís Puget Riquer. The wait has been worthwhile. The fortified city amplifies its cultural offering with a museum space with soft coloured brush-strokes in remembrance of Ibiza’s past tense, that which has gone. Oils, watercolours and tradition as subject with an impressionist aura as backdrop to bring the spectator closer to an island rich in costumes, architecture, charming corners and artistic quality.Narcís Puget Viñas (Ibiza 1874 – Santa Eulalia 1960) and Narcís Puget Riquer are the guests of honour of Dalt Vila’s recently inaugurated museum, in a late gothic noble house which bears the names Can Llaudis or Can Comasema.
The museum of the Puget painters comes to light after a long struggle of negotiations which started with the donation to the state by the family of the artists’ work in the 1980s. A legacy made up of 42 oils and 30 sketches on paper by the father, master painter and the island’s first photographer, and 29 watercolours and as many sketches by the son. A harmonic blend, history’s witness of the Ibiza that was, in soft coloured brush-stroke for a museum project directed by Elena Ruiz, also in charge of the MACE, yearned for and of great importance, not only for its artistic quality, but also because it amplifies the fortified city’s cultural offering.Timetable:
