Most of the work in his career is related to the building and public park projects of King Leopold II of Belgium in the years between 1870 and 1907. In his hometown of Schaerbeek is a street named after him.

His works include:

• Bronze figures of Hainaut and Limbourg at the Triumphal Arch at the Cinquantenaire
• Figures of Day and Night in the Passage du Nord, Brussels
• work at the Botanical Garden of Brussels
• Eve and the Serpent (1913) and other work at Josaphat Park, Schaerbeek
