Paret (y Alcázar), Luis
(b Madrid, 11 Feb 1746; d Madrid, 14 Feb 1799). Spanish painter. His father was a Frenchman of Catalan descent, and his mother was Spanish. He trained in Madrid, first with the French jeweller Augustin Duflos ( fl 1722–67) and then with the Trinitarian friar Bartolomé de San Antonio (1708–82), uncle of the architect Ventura Rodríguez. Paret studied for four years at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de S Fernando and with the patronage of the Infante Luis Antonio Bourbon, the brother of Charles III, went to Rome in 1763, where he completed his artistic training. On his return to Madrid in 1766, he won prizes at the Academia and probably travelled to France or studied contemporary French art under the guidance of Charles de La Traverse, who was a former pupil of François Boucher and who was in Madrid at that time.
