The paper presents the life and work of a nineteen-century chilean mathematician whose work was recognized by the foremost scientific centers of the time, and paradoxically, remained forgotten in Chile for almost 150 years. Picarte can be considered the first scientist completely educated and trained in Chile who published from Chile at international level.
