He entered the École des Beaux-Arts in 1837 and studied under Paul Delaroche.[1] From 1843 to 1887, he exhibited regularly at the Salon, where he was awarded a third-class medal in 1844 and a second-class medal in 1849.[2]
Vidal was noted especially for his portraits of fashionable Parisian women. His famous sitters included Alexandre Dumas and Empress Eugenie. Vidal was awarded the Légion d'honneur in 1852.[3]
