He was introduced to painting by being a pupil of Charles Gleyre at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, and in the studio of Jules Laurens. His subjects and landscapes mainly illustrate rural Provence. He exhibited in 1865 at the Salon of French Artists, he was awarded a medal at that of 1875 (3rd year of his trip to Algeria) for his painting La Gardeuse de moutons and at that of 1879 (2nd class medal) for Les Moutons, landscape of Provence.
