In 1878 he returned to France and studied with Jean Paul Laurens; he exhibited with the Impressionists in 1879 and 1880, and at the Salon from 1883-1895. Lebourg painted mainly in Auvergne, in Normandy and along the banks of the Seine; he also travelled to England in 1900, Switzerland in 1902 and Belgium in 1907. Technically his works show the influence of the Impressionists, but they are imbued with a strong sense of structure and design which is apparent even in his most atmospheric scenes. His pictures were very popular with his contemporaries, and several one-man exhibition were held in Paris during his lifetime. His work is represented in several museums including the collection of the Musee du Jeu de Paume in Paris.
