Pendant ce temps, chez Paul Delaroche
La vie entière1832
Elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts
Already known as a history painter, he is elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France in the painting section, taking seat no. 13.
1833
Becomes a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts
A year after his election to the Académie, he takes up a professorship at the school where he himself once studied. His pupils include Jean-Léon Gérôme, Jean-François Millet and Thomas Couture.
1833
Commissioned to paint a mural in the Madeleine
He is commissioned to paint a large mural for the central nave of the church of the Madeleine in Paris. Aware of his lack of experience in religious painting, he spends a year in Italy studying the religious art of the past; on his return he is told he is to work with Jules-Claude Ziegler and abandons the project altogether, thinking Ziegler would spoil the image he already had in mind.
1834
Leaves for Italy
Sets off for Italy, where he marries the following year.
