Orientalist painter, student of Corot, he is essentially known for his landscapes and street scenes inspired by his travels in Egypt and the Middle East. Sensitive before the Impressionists to translating the light and the fleeting character of the characters, he plays with the effects of contrast and light to deliver, like Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (1803-1860), a very poetic vision of the East.
