He entered the studio of the French painter Charles de la Traverse, who worked for the Marchese of Ossun, the ambassador of France in Spain.

For some years, he was banished to Puerto Rico, where he trained the painter Jose Campeche.  Related Paintings of Luis Paret y alcazar :. | The watchfulness of Diogenes | Virgin and Child with St James the Great | Carlos III comiendo ante su corte | A Masked Ball | Charles III Dining before the Court |
