In 1881 he was selected by the "Diputacion Provincial de Avila" and was granted a scholarship that allowed him to study abroad. He moved to Rome, where he remained from 1882 to 1886. Inspired by the works of Mariano Fortuny, he began to create Orientalist paintings and visited various cities, including Florence, Naples and Venice, where he mainly produced landscapes.
