Biography

He began studying painting under his father and continued his studies in 1829 at the Munich Academy. He returned to Winterthur in 1837.

He first started as a portrait painter, then in 1840 he devoted himself to painting history and landscapes. His works include the tableau entitled "Ulrich Zwingli shaking hands with Martin Luther as a sign of brotherly love" (1856) for the municipal library in Winterthur.[1]

The Zentralbibliothek Zürich also has some of his works in their collection,[2] as does the Kunstmuseum Winterthur.[3]
