In 1765, he became professor and director of the Bruges Academy, a position he held for ten years. A prolific artist, he is admired above all for his drawing skills. His style was strongly influenced by the great French artists Boucher, Fragonard and Greuze, as well as his compatriots Jordaens and Rubens.
