Back a few years later in France, he settled in the region of Aix en Provence, where he ended his life, exposing the entire region and its surroundings, recognized by all (it will visit famous in his studio like never ceasing to paint). All his life he was "... true epicurean, very attracted to women in the glow of their youth, lovers of Provence which magnifies the light colors, its serene and optimistic view of life allowed him to create a voluptuous and fresh paint. His taste for feminine beauty must not make us forget that Cornu was a talented portraitist and an excellent painter of still lifes, mostly of flowers and landscapes. In fact, in all these genres, the only reason of interest to him was the beauty that has always discover to idealize and forever ... Like Bonnard, he seems to have painted only for the joy of painting but also wished to remember to show and share happy moments."

He perfected his art in an abundance of beautiful colors, echoing oriental tapestries...
