He studied under Vincent and Pierre Lacour, and died in Paris in 1832. He chiefly executed historical subjects from the Old and New Testaments, or from French history; but the pictures exhibited by him embrace a great variety of subjects — historical, poetical, and allegorical — landscapes, marine views, interiors of churches, and striking scenes on the coasts of England and France.

Among his works are:

  • Hagar and Ishmael. 1811. (Brussels Gallery)
  • Horace at the Tomb of Virgil. 1817.
  • Portrait of Louis XVIII. 1819. (Bordeaux Museum)
  • The Communion of St. Louis. 1819.
  • The Clemency of Louis XII. 1824. (Versailles Gallery)
  • View of the Church of Boulogne. 1826.
  • A Bivouac of the National Guard. 1831.
