He is best known for his delicate, pastel coloured depictions of women in diaphanous clothing. One entitled "Aurora" was refused as scandalous by the Salon jury in 1859 after which the Comte de Nieuwerkerke imposed an exhibition ban on this painting, although this was later overturned by Napoleon III. Charles Chaplin subsequently became a popular painter at the French Court in the 1860's. He was knighted in 1878 and in 1881 was appointed a Commander of the Legion d'Honneur
Chaplin led a painting studio which was reserved for women only. He taught, amongst others, Marie Helene Aarestrup, Louise Abbéma and Mary Cassatt.
