From circa 1870 - 1890 they merged with Lemerle and exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1878. Félix Maurice Charpentier (French 1858-1924) studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Avignon, then worked in the studios of Jules Cavelier and Amédée Doublemard at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After 1879 he exhibited at the Salon des Artists Francais.
