After completing an apprenticeship as a lithographer in Basel, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich beginning in 1873 and subsequently worked in Florence, where he maintained close contact with Arnold Böcklin, whose visual language had a lasting influence on him. In 1885, he returned to Basel and, in addition to painting, increasingly devoted himself to decorative art and monumental wall designs.
