He studied art under Juan Rivera and José de Madrazo, and became a good portrait painter, but was more especially famous for his pictures of the lower classes at play and work. He became a member of the Royal Academy of San Fernando of Madrid in 1842. He died in 1853 murdered by the same men who had raped his mother when he was a child.
