Life
He came to Paris in 1835 with his father, a painter. After five years of painting and sculpture, he entered the Conservatoire de Paris , made his debut in 1841 at the Théâtre National de l'Odéon and then played in various Parisian theaters.
After a three-year hiatus in which he only worked as a sculptor, he joined the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin , where he became technical director in 1853. His medallion portraits exhibited in the Salon de Paris from 1848 , including the Rachel , Samson, Beauvallet, etc., received widespread recognition.
