Then studied at the Royal Academy in Munich with Alexander Strähuber , Alexander von Wagner , Wilhelm Lindenschmit and Andreas Müller . His teacher Andreas Müller remained formative for Locher's works, which are part of academic history painting. So he painted his first frescoes based on his designs. He often worked with the architect Hugo von Höfl . Locher was not receptive to the neo-baroque style and left the Nazarene style behind. He was a member of the Munich Association for Christian Art .
