He was a sculptor. In 1903, he did a marble replica of Michelangelo's David, which can be seen near the Plages du Prado in Marseille.[1]

Some of his work can be found in Roman Catholic churches in Marseille. He designed the high altar inside the Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul.[2] Additionally, he designed the altars in the Marseille Cathedral.[3] He also designed the altar in the Église Sainte-Agathe des Camoins. In 1886, he designed a statue of Saint Peter for Notre-Dame de la Garde.[4]

Moreover, he designed the fountain in the gardens of the Château Simone in Meyreuil.[5][6][7]

In 1911, he donated the fountain on the Place Castellane, which was sculpted by André-Joseph Allar (1845-1926).[7][8] During its dedication on November 12, 1911, Bernard Cadenat (1853-1930), who served as the Mayor of Marseille from 1910 to 1912, compared him to Crinas, this, "doctor who donated his wealth for the restoration of the fortresses and the ramparts of the city" in the first century.[9]
