Edit ProfileCareer
He is one of the most well-known 19th-century painters of the Catalan countryside. In Barcelona he met Martí Alsina, with whom he later collaborated. In 1868, he moved to Olot, where he created the Olot school, devoted to painting the surrounding countryside.
Between 1871 and 1874, he lived in France, having exiled himself due to the Third Carlist War.
There he became acquainted with the Barbizon school. Upon returning to Olot, he became the provincial deputy of Girona, at the same time as he gained success as a painter.
