He entered the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City in 1884. He is perhaps best known for his Torture of Cuauhtémoc (1892) which he would demonstrate a year later in Philadelphia and win an award for. The realist painting depicts the last Aztec emperor Cuauhtémoc.
For some years Izaguirre was a professor at the Academia, and had work commissioned in Europe (1904-6). He also worked as an illustrator for the magazine Mundo ilustrado.
