Rugadh Franz Xaver Winterhalter i sráidbhaile beag Menzenschwand, (anois mar chuid de Sankt Blasien), in Germany’s Black Forest in the Electorate of Baden, on April 20, 1805.
Ba é an séú leanbh de Fidel Winterhalter (1773 – 1863), feirmeoir agus léiritheoir roisín sa sráidbhaile, agus a bhean Eva Meyer (1765 – 1838), a member of a long established Menzenschwand family.
Bhí stoc tuathánach ag a athair agus bhí tionchar cumhachtach aige ina shaol. As an ochtar deartháireacha agus deirfiúracha, níor mhair ach ceathrar ina naíonán.
Ar feadh a shaoil d’fhan Franz Xaver an-dlúth lena theaghlach, go háirithe dá dheartháir Hermann (1808 – 1891), a bhí ina phéintéir freisin.
Tar éis dó freastal ar scoil ag mainistir Bheinidicteach i St.. Blasien, D’fhág Winterhalter Menzenschwand isteach 1818 ag aois 13 to study drawing and engraving.
Fuair sé oiliúint mar dhréachtóir agus mar liteagrafaí i gceardlann Karl Ludwig Schüler (1785 – 1852) in Freiburg im Breisgau. I 1823, ag aois 18, chuaigh sé go München, urraithe ag an tionsclaí Baron von Eichtal (1775 – 1850).
I 1825, bhronn Ludwig I stipinn air, Grand Duke of Baden (1763 – 1830) agus chuir sé tús le cúrsa staidéir in Acadamh na nEalaíon i München le Peter von Cornelius (1783 – 1867), chuir a mhodhanna acadúla míchompord air.
D'aimsigh Winterhalter meantóir níos congenial sa phortráidí faiseanta Joseph Karl Stieler (1781 – 1858). Le linn na tréimhse seo, thacaigh sé leis féin ag obair mar liteagrafaí.
Chuaigh Winterhalter isteach i gciorcail chúirte nuair a bhí sé isteach 1828 rinneadh máistir líníochta de le Sophie Margravine as Baden, at Karlsruhe.
Tháinig a dheis chun é féin a bhunú taobh amuigh de dheisceart na Gearmáine 1832 nuair a bhí sé in ann taisteal chun na hIodáile, le tacaíocht ó Grand Duke Leopold as Baden.
Sa Róimh chum sé radhairc seánra rómánsúla ar bhealach Louis Léopold Robert agus cheangail sé é féin le ciorcal stiúrthóir Acadamh na Fraince, Horace Vernet.
Ar fhilleadh ar Karlsruhe phéinteáil sé portráidí den Grand Duke Leopold de Baden agus a bhean chéile, agus ceapadh é mar phéintéir don chúirt mhór-ducal.
mar sin féin, he left Baden and move to France, áit ar tharraing a radharc seánra Iodálach Il dolce Farniente fógra ag Salon of 1836, and a year later he won praise for his painting Il Decameron; both of these paintings are academic compositions in the style of Raphael.
I Salon na 1838 thaispeáin sé portráid de Phrionsa Wagram lena iníon óg; and soon after that his career as a portrait painter was secured, when in the same year he painted Louise Marie of Orleans, Banríon na Beilge, agus a mac.
Is dócha gur tríd an bpictiúr seo a tháinig Winterhalter faoi deara Maria Amalia as an Dá Shicil, Banríon na Fraince, máthair Bhanríon na Beilge.
