Biography

He was born while Lyon was still recovering from the effects of the Siege. He studied with Pierre Revoil from 1807 to 1813.

He held his first exhibit at the Salon in 1819. Some of his works were purchased by Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry. King Louis XVIII is said to have told him, "Not only do you speak to the eyes, but you speak mainly to the heart". He was also awarded a second-class medal. He was sometimes referred to as the "Greuze of Lyon".

In 1839, he was appointed a Professor at the École des beaux-arts de Lyon, a position he held until his death.

In 1845, he completed several paintings by his teacher, Revoil, dealing with the history of Pharamond, that Revoil had begun shortly before his death.

He was named a Knight in the Legion of Honor in 1855, after a successful showing at the Exposiiton Universelle.[1] At the Salon of 1857, his depiction of a flood in Brotteaux was purchased by Napoleon III. He had several students; notably Fleury Chenu.

gollark: Nope. Bitcoins are mined on ASICs.
gollark: Some offense, but it's not like it takes much knowledge and thought about AI to go "hmm, what if hyperadvanced self-learning AI thing". If it was that easy, people would already have done it and probably taken over the world.
gollark: Basically, your simple English description of what you want implicitly assumes a bunch of human knowledge - *specialized expert* human knowledge, even - which would require vast amounts of difficult development to get in an AI.
gollark: Oh, and if it's a paper it might not even come with code or it might be really awful code, yes.
gollark: The code/paper you find isn't going to be conveniently usable by just downloading it and copypasting it into your AI's code or something. You'll probably have to actually understand how it works, yet another unfathomable general intelligence task, figure out how it interfaces with the rest of the code or if it can even be used together at all, and possibly rewrite it entirely to fit with what you need.
