He was a professor and later director of the Brazilian Academy, renamed School of Fine Arts ou Escola Nacional de Belas Artes at the fall of the Brazilian Empire. His students include Eliseu Visconti. He died forgotten and so poor his friends had to help the widow pay for his funeral. His paintings still hang at the National Museum Museu Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro.  Related Paintings of Rodolfo Amoedo :. | Bedouin | Study of a woman | Recostada | Retrato de Gonzaga Duque | Portrait of the artist's sister-in-law |
