Between 1767 and 1791 he frequently exhibited at the Paris Salon. However, with the advent of the French Revolution in 1789, he resigned from the Académie because of admission regulations that favoured privileged candidates. In 1793 he became president of the Commune des Arts formed by Jacques-Louis David, dedicated to the overthrow of the Académie's stranglehold on teaching, exhibitions and commissions"; known for history paintings and portraits)
