biography
Nothing is known about his childhood and adolescence or his move to Paris. We know that he attended the studios of Karl-Emest Lehman (1814–1882) and Luc-Olivier Merson (1846–1920). From 1882 to 1890, he sent one or two of his paintings to the Salon des artistes français every year ; in 1890 he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his painting The Surrender of Calais (now in the Musée de Picardie , Amiens ). In the years 1871 to 1914 he sent various pictures to other Parisian salons; in 1897 some of his paintings were exhibited in Paul Durand-Ruel's gallery . Together with other painter friends, he also attended the respected Académie Julian . He took part in the First World War as a simple soldier. From 1918 to 1930 he returned regularly to salons in Paris; however, nothing is known about sales of his paintings during his lifetime.
