Ludwig var sonur klassíkistans (klassísk rannsókn á fornöld) og philhellene (vitsmunahreyfing fyrir aðdáun Grikklands um aldamótin 19) Friedrich Thiersch, sem fæddist í München í Þýskalandi 1825.
Hann átti tvo eldri bræður; einn var skurðlæknirinn Karl Thiersch (1822 – 1895) and the other was the theologian H. W. J. Thiersch (1817 – 1885).
Ludwig began is artistic education as an attendee of the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, studying sculpture; but after a few years changed over to painting and became the student of three German Painters; Heinrich Maria von Hess (1798 – 1863) of the Nazarene Movement (a German Romantic Movement who’s aim was to revive spirituality in art); Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794 – 1872 ), primarily a painter of biblical subjects, and Karl Schorn (1803 – 1850), as well as a painter he was also a chess master.
After completing his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts 1848, he painted the pieces Sakuntala (is the wife of Dushyanta and the mother of Emperor Bharata), and a scene of Camissards (were Huguenots or French Protestants who held to the Reformed, or Calvinist, tradition of Protestantism. n the early 1700s, they raised a resistance against the persecutions which followed Louis XIV’s Edict of Fontainebleau, making Protestantism illegal.)
On the completion of these works he then ventured off to Rome, Ítalíu; where he sketched scenes of the daily lives of the Italian people and painted the piece Hiob unter seinen Freunden (Job among his friends ).
Í 1852 he made he traveled to Athens, Greece with his father, where he replaced Italian Painter, Physician and amateur Archaeologist Rafaello Ceccoli (1800 – 1850); at the Athens School of Fine Arts; becoming interested in Byzantine Art.
During this from 1852 – 1855 Ludwig would painting several frescoes in Greek Churches and was a leading member of the movement to modernize Byzantine Art by introducing Western elements, such as naturalistic perspective and anatomy; which met with fierce Greek opposition from those that saw such reforms as a means of replacing longstanding Greek Traditions with foreign ones.
Throughout the rest of his life Ludwig would travel to different cities painting for patrons and creating frescoes for churches, which was particularly notable along with the wor done by Italian Painter Ludwig Seitz (1844 – 1908) and French Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin (1809 – 1864); he is considered to have led the revival in Western European Ecclesiastical Art.
