In 1876 he settled in Paris, where he was followed German Ludwig (1855-1935) and Johann Discart, his former classmate in the class of Feuerbach. In the year 1877 was his first participation at the Salon des artistes français. It probably followed around 1880 study trips to Spain, Morocco and Constantinople. From 1905 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, a southern suburb of Paris resident, he launched the production of earthenware tiles with oriental motifs. Rodolphe Ernst initially devoted himself to genre painting. Beginning in 1885, he created paintings with oriental motifs exclusively, among which scenes from the world of Islam as the interiors of mosques a special rank. He also created harems and other everyday scenes from North Africa and the Middle East. Based on these eclectic works were photographs and prints, but also their own memories and during trips to Morocco and the artist's sketches created Constantinople.
