Since 1737 he was painter to the court in Mannheim, since 1744 he also created stage designs for the local theatre. In 1745 he travelled Switzerland, a journey that had a great impact on his repertoire. The sculptor to the Mannheim court P. Egell was one of his friends; his most important pupil was J. C. Seekatz.
