Juan León Pallière grew up in an artistic environment marked by the figure of his father, Armand Julien Pallière, a painter attached to the imperial court of Dom Pedro I. From Bragança, he went to Argentina. As a teenager, he joined François-Édouard Picot's studio in Paris, before moving on to Buenos Aires, Paris and Rome. After settling in Argentina between 1855 and 1866, he developed a body of work based on the country's daily life and rural traditions, consolidating the genre of rural costumbrismo over the course of almost eleven years.
Today, his watercolours, paintings and lithographs are an invaluable record of the landscapes and people of South America in the mid-nineteenth century, and have been disseminated as far afield as Europe thanks to several publications in France and England.
With his Álbum Pallière: Escenas Americanas (1864), a collection of 52 lithographs, he left a fundamental iconographic contribution on Argentine customs and territory.
