While most may consider his exceptional talent as been a hereditary gift - his father and sister being skilled artists -, Louis had his own saga of struggle, hardships and dedication.Trained as an artist under his father, he won accolades for his mastery and won the prestigious 'Academie's prix de Rome' in Rome. But his path to stardom was not easy owing to the brewing unrest in France. Henceforth, he headed for Great Britain. It was in Britain where his talents got widely noticed as he worked with some of the famous art houses in London. His artistic acquisitions made him one-of-a-kind artist, when he was chosen as one of the five artists to work on the drawing of the St.Paul's Cathedral's dome. Not just painting, but he had a natural inclination towards engraved works. His masterpiece artistry in engraved art with James Thornhill made him an art genius.
His works are still posthumously known and admired in UK and France.
