He then traveled to Italy and returned to Spain in 1881 where he began to participate in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. Then in 1892, Meifren returned to Paris and began working with the French impressionists. He achieved success at the end of the 19th century when he exhibited in South America as well as in Europe.
