The following year, he proposed a Sainte Marthe , of a clever composition, which was however the object of some criticisms because of the “too vain” adjustments of the characters and the negligence with which he had treated the repented pecheress. In 1887, it had provided a rather good copy of the Mass of Bolsena , painted by Raphaël for the Chambre of Héliodore to the the Vatican (1512 - 1514), but its Tobie and the angel did not escape criticism, pretense to constitute a study of landscape especially. In 1888, the Dawn , the table painted at the time of its 4th and last year with the Academy, had right about to all the reproaches.
