He was born in Brussels, the son of a smith, and was initially self-taught.[2] With the encouragement of his friend the artist Théodore Fourmois he later began studying at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels with Balthazar-François Tasson (later Tasson-Snel) and exhibited at the Brussels Salon from 1843 to 1875, as well as at the Paris Salon and elsewhere.[1]

He also wrote many travel books based on his extensive travels as far as India.[1]
