Miquel Carbonell Selva

Miquel Carbonell i Selva (23 July 1854, Molins de Rei – 14 May 1896, Barcelona) was a Catalan painter, muralist and poet.

When he was only ten, he developed a tumor on his leg, which kept him bed-ridden for a year and caused permanent damage that required the use of a cane.

[citation needed] At the age of thirteen, he was apprenticed to a painter in Barcelona.

Two years later, he was enrolled at the Escola de la Llotja, where he studied with Antoni Caba.

He continued his studies in Rome, thanks to a stipend provided by Ferran Puig i Gibert [ca], a prominent financier.
