Biography
Biography
He also worked with Clavé on the former cupola of La Profesa (ravaged by a fire in January 1914) and at San Carlos' galleries. Following the example of many of his contemporaries, he ventured into photography by painting over photographic enlargements for a fraction of the cost of paintings. He committed suicide on June 2, 1870, as a result of his passion for Maura Ogazón and Rubio, sister of Governor Pedro Ogazón Rubio.
