In the July Monarchy of Louis Philippe I he was commissioned to paint several large battle pieces for the Palace of Versailles. His "Henri III. on his Death-bed" was in the Luxembourg in 1903.[3] Napoleon's Departure from Elba was produced for Versailles. It was originally intended to be displayed at the Salon of 1836 but was withdrawn following the Strasbourg Coup by Louis Napoleon.[4]
