Manuel Bayeu

What we know of his life is based almost entirely on the personal correspondence he maintained with Martín Zapater, a friend of his brother-in-law, Francisco de Goya.

He was a Carthusian monk at the monastery Nuestra Señora de las Fuentes, where he spent most of his life.

His best known works are very casual, personal drawings, produced while he was at Las Fuentes, which are now in the Museo de Huesca [es].

Near the end of his life, his Superior sent him to Mallorca, to create a mural at the Valldemossa Charterhouse.

There, he made friends with Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, who had been banished to Bellver Castle.
