His debut at the Salon came in 1881, and he was elected a member of the Société des artistes français in 1892.
[1] Much of his work was done in the vicinity of Creuse, but he also travelled to Brittany, Auvergne and Allier, as well as providing decorations for several churches in Normandy.
He also worked at the church of Saint Vincent in Charonne, and at a private location in Perros-Guirec.
After his death, the Salon d'hiver [fr] organized a major retrospective of his works.
They may be seen at the Louvre, and in museums in Guéret, Lille, Poitiers, Pontoise, and Quimper.
