He initially devoted himself to historical works, but moved away from Realism to a type of Symbolism and developed an interest in the English Pre-Raphaelites. As a result, much of his work took on a "literary" quality.
On various occasions, he participated in the Exposiciones Nacionales de Bellas Artes in Madrid and was a member of the Junta de Museus de Catalunya [ca] (Museum Board) as well as teaching at the Escola. In 1900, he was one of the co-founders of the "Societat Artística i Literària de Catalunya". He continued to contribute to various periodicals throughout his life.
