Palace of Versailles
In December 1847, Abd el-Kader, head of the Algerian resistance to French occupation, was forced to surrender and was imprisoned in France. For four years he was moved between various holding sites in France until finally he was transferred to the Château d’Amboise in November 1848. These years in captivity were difficult for Abd-el-Kader and his entourage, owing to the French climate and poor conditions at Amboise. The prisoners were however placed under the benevolent guard of Captain Boissonnet and allowed to live according to their customs.
The courage and strength of character that Abd el-Kader demonstrated during his exile in France won him a great deal of respect, notably from Louis-Napoleon. On becoming Prince-President, the latter delivered Abd el-Kader his freedom on 16 October, 1852.
The scene depicts the moment when Abd el-Kader, upon learning of his release, presents his mother to Louis-Napoleon. The Emir’s mother, Lalla Zohra, who accompanied Abd el-Kader during his captivity, is portrayed as she respectfully pays obeisance to her liberator. On the left of the painting, Louis-Napoleon is accompanied by ministers Saint-Arnaud Armand, Federico Barocci, the Comte de Goyon and the Comte Roguet. More on this painting

Napoleon III wanted to attach his name to the realization of the Grand Design of Henri IV: to reunite the Louvre with the Tuileries. In this retrospective painting dated 1865, the architect Visconti (died in 1853) presents to the imperial couple the plan of the Louvre, the completion of which was decided in 1852. The scene takes place at the Tuileries. Visconti's successor, Lefuel, is pictured on the far right, at a work table. More on this painting
In 1861, in addition to the portraits, he presented one of his best known works; a depiction of Napoleon III greeting Emir Abdelkader at the Château d'Amboise (See above). In 1866, he once again presented a scene with Napoleon III, this time approving plans for the Louvre submitted by Louis Visconti (also now at Versailles) (See above). In 1867, he was decorated with the Legion of Honor.
He also served as an art teacher. Under the Second Empire, most of his students were women, notably the Scandinavians Amalia Lindegren, Kerstin von Post [sv] and Marie Aarestrup; the American Elizabeth Jane Gardner and the Peruvian Rebeca Oquendo [es]. Inexplicably, none of his French students, male or female, are now remembered. Jean-Baptiste-Ange Tissier
