Merson had his first work exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1866 and three years later was awarded the Prix de Rome.
Merson's art became a vehicle for decorative commissions, doing major works for such institutions as the famous Palais de Justice (Courthouse), the Louis Pasteur Museum, and the mosaic in the chancel vault in the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur.
By 1900 Merson was designing postage stamps for the government and by 1908 he had been contracted by the Bank of France to create a number of designs for some of the country's banknotes.

Prénomé Nicolas comme le peintre Poussin, et Luc comme le saint qui réussit dit-on à reproduire les traits de la Vierge: la prédestination du jeune Nicolas Luc Olivier à peindre des sujets religieux était sans doute inéluctable...
Toute sa vie, Olivier témoignera envers son fils d'une profonde affection et d'une grande fierté.

 William Sergeant Kendall: American Master, by Robert Austin
Both artists began to study with Luc Olivier Merson, but in 1889, when Merson temporarily dissolved his atelier, Kendall moved to the Academie Julian, where he worked on and off for three years.
But, as might be guessed, Kendall was never able to totally combine technique from Merson and subject matter from Eakins.
Since acceptance at the Salon was still the world-wide standard of success, his award brought him letters of congratulation from American collectors and an offer of a teaching job at the Cooper Union in New York City.

 A Long Weekend in Paris - Sacré-Coeur - Worldisround photo
The impressive façade with its triple-arched portico is surmounted by two bronze equestrian statues of St. Joan of Arc and St. Louis by H. Lefebvre, and the climax of the overall design is the statue of Christ, his hand raised in blessing.
In contrast to the exterior, the interior is extensively decorated with mosaics; those in the apse over the high altar were designed by Luc-Olivier Merson and show Christ adored by the Virgin, St. Joan of Arc and St. Louis.
Sacré-Coeur is built on a vast scale to take full advantage of its commanding site.
