In 1821, he began a six-year apprenticeship at the studios of Johann Heinrich Bleuler, the Younger (1787–1857) in Feuerthalen, which he completed in 1827. From 1833, he worked at the painting school and publishing house operated by Bleuler's brother, Johann Ludwig, at Schloss Laufen.
In 1837, he went to Meiringen, where he made the acquaintance of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, who introduced him to oil painting. The following year, he married Elisabeth Egli from Uhwiesen, where he eventually settled; although he travelled extensively in the summer, until he became too infirm.
In 1863, he was a co-founder of the Schweizer Alpen-Club.
Among his best known works were the illustrations commissioned by Darmstadt, for his book Das Großherzogthum Baden in in malerischen Originalansichen (The Grand Duchy of Baden in picturesque original views).
