He became friends with Édouard Manet. Monginot led a career as a recognized painter in Paris. He received a medal in 1864 and 1899 at the Paris Salon, mainly producing portraits, still lifes or genre scenes. He maintains links with his region of origin where he died, in Dienville, in 1900. His still lifes are exhibited in many provincial museums and show an elegance of line and a sincerity in realism which are not at all academic. Paintings are kept in the Museums of; Antwerp, Aurillac, Carcassonne, Chartres, Louviers, Metz, Mulhouse, Nancy, Nice, Paris (Musée du Petit Palais), Poitiers, Semur-en-Auxois, Poitiers, Tours, Troyes....free shipping for the European Union
