He exhibited at the Salon in Paris between 1848 and 1887, and in Lyon. He obtained a 3rd class medal at the Salon of 1852, a 2nd class medal at those of 1853 and 1855 and a recall in 1857. He received a 3rd class medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1867. He then settled in Fontainebleau.[3]
He first practiced history painting, in particular dedicated to the history of the Valois, and genre painting. From 1875, he changed his style by adopting a more "modern" technique. He also made many sculptures in his final years.[4]
His grave rests in the cemetery of Fontainebleau.[5]
