Prulidiano Pueyderrón's career was as incomparable as his name: he was a painter, architect and engineer all in one - a mixture that would be hard to find even in his native Argentina. He certainly had better starting conditions than others. The only son of the former "Director of the United Provinces on the Rio de la Plata" (from which the state of Argentina emerged in 1821) and an aristocrat, he was one of the "Upper Ten Thousand" of the young republic and attended the exclusive "Colegio de la Independencia". At the age of twelve the family moved to Paris (France), where his father Juan Martin de Pueyderrón imported Argentine leather: cattle breeding was Argentina's mainstay from the beginning, and leather was in great demand in the Europe of the Industrial Revolution.
In 1841, the family left France because of tensions between the two countries over maritime rights - a circumstance that could trigger wars at the time! At the new residence Rio de Janeiro, at that time a "liberal" city with many freedoms, the 18 year old Prudiliano discovered his love for art. Returning to Paris in 1844, he studied architecture and engineering. When Prudiliano returned to Buenos Aires in 1849 to assist his dying father, he brought three things with him: A degree in engineering, a reputation as a womanizer - and a painter's palette that in the years that followed not only created Argentina's first "nudes" (quite a scandal at the time), but also captured the "aristocracy" of the young port city on canvas. Meanwhile, the "caudillo" of the La Plata coast, Rosas, failed in open battle in 1852 against the later first president of Argentina, José Urquiza. Pueyderrón decided to wait and see how things developed in Cadiz, Spain.
In 1854, the painter and engineer crossed the Atlantic for the last time to stay in Argentina. Under the new constitution, Argentina had finally come to rest as a unitary state. Pueyderrón was involved in all kinds of public works, for example the restoration of historical sites and monuments, with designs of parks and bridges that still exist today, but also in the expansion and fortification of the harbour of Buenos Aires. Industrialisation had now reached South America, hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Europe sought their fortune in the New World - and Buenos Aires was the main destination of the immigrant ships. However, the artist Pueyderrón also worked in the shadow of the city planner Pueyderrón. During the 1860s, he created over 200 well-known pictures, because they still exist today. Half of them were ordered portraits of prominent persons of that time. But today's art world finds his "everyday life paintings" even more interesting, as they document the life in Argentina of that time, even if they have a romantic touch: herders in the pampas, travelers, traveling salesmen.
Pueyderron died in 1870 at the age of only 47 and fell into oblivion as a painter, before the "Argentinean Everyday Art" of the prominent urban planner and engineer was rediscovered around 1930 (nationalism was also spreading in South America).
