Ramón Bayeu

Ramón Bayeu y Subías (2 December 1744, Zaragoza – 1 March 1793, Aranjuez) was a Spanish Neoclassicist painter; known primarily for his work in tapestry design.He collaborated with his brother-in-law, Francisco Goya, on several commissions; at the Royal Monastery in Valladolid and the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Valdemoro.In 1786, following a request by Francisco and Mariano Salvador Maella, he was appointed Director of the factory; a position he held until his death.In 1791, he refused to continue painting cartones, in light of the religious works and portraits he had done, but was threatened with a suspension of his salary.Many of his engravings reproduce famous paintings, such as Guercino's Liberation of St. Peter, now housed in the Museo del Prado, which also preserves some of his cartones.
