His father, a poor por- trait painter, took him, when only fifteen years old, to Paris, where the boy procured permission to copy in the Louvre. He be- came a student in the cole des Beaux Arts, and in 1819 entered the studio of Baron Gros. After obtaining a considerable repu- tation in Paris and winning the gold medal (1824) for a marine subject, he went to Ven- ice and painted there some elaborate pict- ures both in oil and water colours, which won him fame and many commissions in England, but his promising career was cut short by death, the result of a sunstroke. Though he painted chiefly landscape and marine views, he also executed figure sub- jects with much skill, and his influence on the French school of genre and dramatic art was great. Works : Column of St. Mark in Venice, National Gallery, London ; Henri IV. and the Spanish Ambassador, Collection 178
