Joan Lluís Vives died in Bruges, on 6 May 1540. The sculpture was designed by José Azuela on request of the principal Josep Monserrat Riutort and, after a tough controversy with the conservative press, was set up in the centre of the Cloister of the Universitat in 1880. The solid statue was casted in bronzed in just one piece by the famous Vicente Ríos Enrique, a fact that constitutes a great technique feat for his time.

According to important university sources in different events, the Universitat de València is probably the only university in the world that has decided to preserve its more significant place for a student. Vives was a student at the Universitat de València, but he was not a professor of it.
