Life
He was a student of Henri Harpignies and later approached the École naturaliste de Port-Berteau , a school of open-air painting , whose members temporarily included Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot . From 1887 he was represented several times in the Salon des Artistes Français. The recognition he received is reflected in his appointment as a Knight of the Legion of Honor . He spent large parts of his life in the Bordelais . There is a street named after him in Bordeaux and he is buried there. Francois Max Bugnicourt is one of his students .
His style of rendering landscapes developed from late romantic forms to a post-impressionist style of design that is characteristic of his late creative years.
