Biography
Louis Steinheil studied with Henri Decaisne and painted in nearly every medium, but gave special attention to glass painting and church decoration. Among his works are Saint Philomela (1841); Mother (1847), Nantes Museum.[1] He and Alexandre-Dominique Denuelle were commissioned to paint the chapel of Our Lady of Guadeloupe, consecrated in September 1865, which was built for the Empress Eugénie beside her Villa Eugénie in Biarritz.[2] In 1876 he was commissioned to execute frescoes in the Strasbourg Cathedral.[1]
