Although Pelegria Clave was born in Barclona in 1811, he taught for many years in Mexico. He was a Romanticist painter who studied at Escola de la Llotja, a school of art and design, from 1822-1833. Following his graduation he traveled to Rome on a grant to attend Accademia di San Luca, traveling extensively throughout Italy and France. Finally, in 1846, he arrived in Mexico with to become the Director of painting at the Academy of San Carlos, where he taught until 1868.
His personal painting included portraits of high society figures, as well as religious works in the Romantic style. Clave died in 1880 in Barcelona, Spain. The painting I am including today is "The Good Samaritan"
