Other members of this creative family include his brothers, who were the painter Luis de Madrazo (1825 – 1897), Pedro de Madrazo (1816 – 1898), umělecký kritik a Juan de Madrazo (1829 – 1880), architekt.
Among Federico’s his children were the painter Ricardo de Madrazo (1851 – 1917), Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta (1841 – 1920) and Cecilia de Madrazo y Garreta (1846 – 1932) who married the great Orientalist artist, Marià Fortuny (1838 – 1874).
The Madrazo family has been described as one of the most important painting Spanish painting dynasties of the 19th century; which completely dominated painting in Spain during that period.
Federico začal brát uměleckou lekci od svého otce, a zatímco stále navštěvuje Královskou akademii San Fernando, namaloval svůj první obraz Vzkříšení Krista c1829; který koupila královna Christina.
Brzy po tomto obraze vytvořil Achilles ve svém stanu, a poté představil Akademii Kontinenci Scipia, což mu zajistilo přijetí za člena “za zásluhy”.
O tři roky později Federico odjel do Paříže, kde studoval na Franz Winterhalter a maloval portréty barona Taylora a Ingrese. (francouzský neoklasický malíř).
v 1837 získal provizi za vytvoření obrazu pro galerii ve Versailles, pro které maloval “Godfrey de Bouillon byl prohlášen králem Jeruzaléma”; brzy poté se vrátil do Říma a ujal se projektů vytvářejících portréty pro španělskou aristokracii.
