He spent part of his career in France. Very early drawn to genre scenes, they would become his specialty as well as landscapes. He settled in Madrid in 1869, where he pursued his studies at the School of Fine Arts. He frequented the Prado Museum during his studies and practiced copying classical works. Very passionate about technique, he is said to have presented to the Academy, in 1877, a new painting method without oil or varnish. It was in 1880 that he settled in Paris. He participated in the Universal Expositions of 1889 and 1900.
