Franz Xaver Winterhalter Menzenschwand herrixka txikian jaio zen, (Sankt Blasienen parte da gaur egun), Alemaniako Oihan Beltzean, Badengo Hautetsian, on 20 Apirila 1805. Fidel Winterhalterren seigarren semea izan zen (1773–1863), herriko baserritar eta erretxin ekoizlea, eta bere emaztea Eva Meyer (1765–1838), aspaldiko Menzenschwand familia bateko kidea.
Bere aita nekazari jatorrikoa zen eta eragin handia izan zuen bere bizitzan. Zortzi anai-arrebetatik, lauk bakarrik bizirik atera ziren haurtzaroan. Bere bizitzan zehar Franz Xaver-ek bere familiarengandik oso hurbil egon zen, in particular to his brother Hermann (1808–1891), who was also a painter.
After attending school at a Benedictine monastery in St. Blasien, Winterhalter left Menzenschwand in 1818 urterekin 13 to study drawing and engraving.[4] He trained as a draughtsman and lithographer in the workshop of Karl Ludwig Schüler (1785–1852) in Freiburg im Breisgau. In 1823, urterekin 18, he went to Munich, sponsored by the industrialist Baron von Eichtal (1775–1850).
In 1825, he was granted a stipend by Ludwig I, Grand Duke of Baden (1763–1830) and began a course of study at the Academy of Arts in Munich with Peter von Cornelius (1783–1867), whose academic methods made him uncomfortable. Winterhalter found a more congenial mentor in the fashionable portraitist Joseph Karl Stieler (1781–1858). During this time, he supported himself working as lithographer.
Winterhalter entered court circles when in 1828 he became drawing master to Sophie Margravine of Baden, at Karlsruhe.[6] Alemania hegoaldetik haratago ezartzeko aukera iritsi zen 1832 Italiara bidaiatu ahal izan zuenean, 1833–1834, Badengo Leopoldo Duke Handiaren laguntzarekin.
Erroman Louis Léopold Robert-en moduko genero erromantiko eszenak konposatu zituen eta Frantziako Akademiako zuzendariaren zirkuluari lotu zitzaion., Horazio Vernet. Karlsruhera itzultzean Badengo Leopoldo Duke Handiaren eta bere emaztearen erretratuak egin zituen, eta gorte handi-dukaleko margolari izendatu zuten.
Hala ere, he left Baden to move to France, non bere genero italiar eszenak Il dolce Farniente oharra erakarri zuen Salon of 1836. Il Decameron a year later was also praised; both paintings are academic compositions in the style of Raphael. Aretoan 1838 he exhibited a portrait of the Prince of Wagram with his young daughter.
His career as a portrait painter was soon secured when in the same year he painted Louise Marie of Orleans, Queen of the Belgians, and her son. It was probably through this painting that Winterhalter came to the notice of Maria Amalia of the Two Sicilies, Queen of the French, mother of the Queen of the Belgians.
