He travelled to Rome from 1785, where he was fascinated by the mountains of Lazio and the luminous quality of the Roman countryside.

Returning to Paris in 1790, he exhibited his paintings at the Salon from 1791 and met with great success. He
became the first landscape painter to be admitted to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1823. This was followed by
numerous commissions from the imperial family, notably from Joseph Bonaparte and Caroline Murat.
