(Porto, 11 November 1850 - Porto, 11 June 1893) was a Portuguese naturalist painter.
Born in Porto, he studied there under João Antenio Correia and T. Furtado, then continued his studies in Paris and Rome.
While in Paris he exhibited his work in the Salon and in the World´s Fair of 1878. In Paris, he studied with his friend João Marques de Oliveira, where they were pupils of Adolphe Yvon and Alexandre Cabanel. They became followers of the naturalist Barbizon School, and brought the new school of painting to Portugal, when they returned in 1879.
