Line 9: Not long after his birth, his family moved from [[Corsica]] to Algeria. There, he studied at the Collège St-Charles in [[Blida]], then at the Lycée in Algiers. He was there only a short time before transferring to the {{ill\|Ecole des Beaux-Arts d'Alger\|fr}}, where he studied with {{ill\|Hippolyte Dubois\|fr}}. In 1892, he obtained a scholarship that enabled him to study in Paris; at the [[École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts]], and in the studios of [[Léon Bonnat]]. His primary artistic influences were [[Eugène Delacroix]] and the [[Impressionists]]. After leaving Paris, he returned to Algeria, where he exhibited in the local salons, but also participated in showings at the {{ill\|Salon des Artistes Français\|fr}}. In 1906, he married the artist, Marie Gautier (c.~~1870-~~1870–?), who introduced him to the art of color engraving. This soon became his primary enthusiasm, producing numerous [[etching]]s that were published in France. After this, he exhibited exclusively with the [[Société nationale des beaux-arts]]. In 1909, he was awarded a grant to travel throughout [[French West Africa]]; visiting [[Guinea]], [[Côte d'Ivoire]], [[Benin]], [[Senegal]] and [[Timbuktu]], in the [[French Sudan]]. It was a very busy, fruitful period that produced numerous etchings and canvases. Following this trip, he returned to Paris to study [[fresco]] painting.
