| since the portraitist y and his offspring were active puesto que tanto el retratista como sus retoños ejercían como pintores. Explanation: Or, if the work of the offspring was not limited to “painting,” then “artistas.” Or "eran pintores/artistas." Or “hijos” instead of “retoños.” Suerte. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2012-12-10 15:59:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Addendum: Of course, you would place the first name of "Y" after "retratista." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2012-12-10 16:06:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Adendum II: Given your added note, it is clear that I misread the (initially ambiguous) text. So here is another attempt, based on your added context: Luego de la época de los Y, la familia X vino perfilándose como la más famosa familia de artistas. Or: "Un siglo después de la época de los Y...." [Or any of several variations thereof.] Suerte. |

| since the portraitist y and his offspring were active A partir del reconocimiento de la obra del retratista Y y sus descendientes Explanation: A partir del reconocimiento de la obra del retratista Y y sus descendientes, la familia X pasa a ser/ representa (o se convierte en) la familia de artistas más famosa del país. Creo que se dándole la vuelta a la frase ve mejor la causa y la consecuencia, según lo que he entendido por lo que mencionas en el contexto. Espero que sirva, un saludo. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hora (2012-12-10 17:39:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- [Además de eliminar la pasiva, que enreda un poco la frase en español, de ahí la nominalización con "reconocimiento".] |
