He returned to Marseille to set up a studio where he painted Provençal seascapes, some landscapes, views of Venice and the Bosphorus which he animated with characters.
His works have the particular light of romantic paintings and the poetry of the rising or the end of the day. The sun's rays piercing the mist give a particular color to his paintings.
If some compare him to Felix Zien, of whom he was an admirer, his work is closer to his master François Barry, especially in the taste for detachment and realism.
In 1906, during the Colonial Exhibition, a tribute was paid to him by bringing together several of his works for the public.
