From 1820 to 1823, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. After his comeback to Alsace, he was appointed sculptor of the Fondation de l'l’Œuvre Notre-Dame in Strasbourg. In 1865, he became a knight of the Legion of Honor. He made the portrait of his friend Émile Souvestre on his tomb at the Père Lachaise Cemetery.
