Biography

He was born in

Upon his return to Barcelona in 1844, he began a career devoted to artistic purity, inspired by Medieval art and the teachings of Overbeck. In pursuit of that goal, he founded his own Academy, which became widely known. His prestige as a teacher reached its peak in 1851 when he was named an associate professor of the graduate school at the Escola. The following year, he became a full Professor and, in 1858, he became the Director,^[1] a post he filled until 1885. He retired from the academy three years later, and died in Barcelona, aged 74. Among his best-known students were Marià Fortuny, Antoni Caba and Tomàs Padró.
