As a portrait painter, he was successful at an early age. He studied at the Vienna Academy, and when he had hardly attained his majority won its four leading prizes. In 1818-1819, he joined Count Szecheni of Hungary on a tour of Turkey and Greece. In 1820, he went to Italy, and in Florence and Rome produced a number of works from Biblical and historical subjects. After spending a year in Paris, he returned to Vienna in 1827, where devoted his attention to miniature and historical paintings, being professor at the Academy from 1829 to 1850.
