The public prestige Haes attained led to a fresh appreciation of landscape painting, previously considered a lesser genre, by the official circles. He received many awards and distinctions. During the following years he entered his works in several exhibitions in foreign cities such as Brussels, Bayonne and Metz, where he won prizes, and was hailed as the foremost practitioner of the new landscape art in Spain and was the first master who made his students go out and paint directly from life.

In he met the young Aureliano de Beruete and the following year the painter Jaime Morera, who would become his favourite student. A major figure in Spanish landscape painting of the 19th century, Carlos de Haes was also the master of a whole generation of painters who were impressed by his new, plein-air approach to landscape art which shed the fetters of Romanticism that still burdened this genre until well into the second half of the century.
