He stayed in Rome for several years, followed by a visit to Egypt in 1862, where he painted scenes of princely activities, did decorative work for palaces and sketched monuments; some of them quite remote. Many works were created by request of the Khedive.[2]
In 1868, he returned to France. Four years later, he was commissioned by the government to copy the paintings of Andrea Mantegna in Padua, but was forced to return by illness.[1] He was a professor at the École Nationale in Lyon from 1874 to 1877, then retired.
