After devoting himself to music, he abandoned this art for painting and became known as a painter of flowers and as a landscape painter. He also excelled in the practice of etching and watercolour. He studied architecture at the Antwerp Academy, but the call of painting was stronger and he trained himself. Sander Pierron would also say of him that he was "an apprentice without a master who was to become a master without a disciple". However, we know of at least one disciple, Alphonse Asselbergs. He was influenced by the painter Théodore Fourmois and was part of the Colony of Anseremme. He settled in Tervuren in the early 1860s, along with many painters such as Jules Raeymaekers, Jules Montigny and Alphonse Asselbergs. It was not until around 1863 that Hippolyte Boulenger frequented the village inn "Au Renard" where they were gathered. Boulenger took the lead of the group that became the Tervueren School, and he became its emblematic artist until his death in 1874. He was one of the founding members of the Société libre des beaux-arts in 1868.
