Antonio Despuig by Agustín Esteve.

Antonio Despuig y Dameto (30 March 1745 – 2 May 1813) was a Spanish archbishop and cardinal. He was Archbishop of Seville from 1795 to 1799 and was a big supporter of the beatification of the Mallorquín nun Catalina Tomas which was finally achieved on 12 August 1792 when pope Pius VI beatified her.[1] He then became Latin Patriarch of Antioch in 1799 and was made cardinal by pope Pius VII. He died in Lucca in 1813.
