Ramon Bayeu y Subias

1746 Saragossa – 1793 Aranjuez

Ramon Bayeu was taught by his more famous brother Francisco (1734–1785), whom he followed to Madrid. From 1765 he de­signed cartoons for the Royal Tapestry Manufactory under the watchful eye of his brother, whom he assisted in the exe­cu­tion of several cycles of frescoes. Ramon is mostly known today for his etchings, which he made at a moment when the medium of printmaking flourished in Madrid.
