Career
Rigalt is considered the first natural landscape-painter in Catalonia and, therefore, the precursor of a school that included such important figures as Martí Alsina and Joaquim Vayreda i Vila. Rigalt came from a family of artists. His father Pablo Rigalt was also a painter.
He studied in the Escola de la Llotja in Barcelona and in Madrid in the circle of Jenaro Pérez Villaamil.
