Exhibited in 1822 his Dante and Virgil, which won him reputation, and he might have received high academic honours if he had not, with Gericault and others, diverged from the prevalent classicism of the school of David and joined the romantic school, of which he became one of the leaders. He travelled in Spain and North Africa in 1831, and be- tween that and 1855 executed important public commissions, decorating the Cham- ber of Deputies, the Library of the Luxem- bourg, the Church of St. Sulpice, and gal- leries in the Louvre and the Hotel de Ville.
