In 1827, he created a series of murals on the life of [[Saint Stephen]] for the church of [[Saint-Nicholas-des-Champs, Paris|Saint-Nicholas-des-Champs]]. From 1833 to 1835, he painted a scene from [[Napoleon]]'s expedition to Egypt on one of the ceilings at the [[Louvre]]. Between 1840 and 1860, he operated a popular painting workshop for women, directed by his sister [[Marie Amélie Cogniet|Marie Amélie]] and one of his students, Catherine Caroline Thévenin (1813–1892), who later became his wife. After 1843, he concentrated almost entirely on teaching, with an occasional portrait. After 1855, he essentially gave up painting.
After 1831, he taught design at the [[Lycée Louis-le-Grand]]. He also taught at the [[École polytechnique (France)|École polytechnique]] from 1847 to 1861. In 1851, he was appointed a Professor at the École des Beaux-arts, a position he held until 1863, when he retired, slowly giving up his private students and becoming more reclusive.
He died forgotten in the [[10th arrondissement of Paris]] in 1880 and is interred at [[Père-Lachaise]].
