His nickname was "Dapper" or "Aprêt". He was influenced by David de Coninck and became the teacher of Pietro Navarra.[2] He was in Rome in the years 1685-1695 and is known for still lifes of flowers and hunting pieces.[2] In 1702 he was in Passau and then he moved to Vienna.[2]
He was trained in the studio of Carlo Maratta in Rome.[3] He was invited to Vienna to be a court painter, and remained there until his death.
