| Born in Palma on the Island of Mallorca in 1813. Ferran studied art in Paris and at the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. In Spain he painted classical and religious genre, but was best known there as a sculptor (his bust of Queen Maria Christina of Spain is in the Madrid Art Museum). He was in San Francisco in the earliest days of the Gold Rush (1849-50) where he painted Vaqueros Lassoing a Steer and two of the finest depictions of San Francisco of that period which are now held in the Banc (showing 500 of 1074 characters). |
