Life
Heinefetters was born in Mainz to Jewish parents. The connection between his father Christian Heinefetter (* 1772) and his mother Christine (née Seelandt) resulted in further children, such as the sisters Sabine , Eva , Fatime , Kathinka , Klara and Nanette , who were all opera singers. Together with Adolph Heinefetter, the whole family took part in the opera Die Zauberflöte at the Mainz State Theater in 1826 .
In Munich, Johann Baptist Heinefetter became a student of the battle painter Dietrich Monten . He worked as a genre, landscape and occasionally battle painter. He traveled to Italy, southern France, Corsica, Switzerland, Tyrol and Austria, Upper Bavaria, the Black Forest and the Rhine-Main region and settled in Baden-Baden.
In 1842 he and Jakob Götzenberger painted the frescoes in the Baden-Baden drinking hall , created the picture of the Resurrection of Christ for the cemetery chapel and four large ceiling paintings in the conversation house . In Baden-Baden he founded a gymnastics club in 1847, of which he was later made an honorary member. In the 1850s he accompanied Götzenberger to England. Here they worked together for Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere , who let them decorate Bridgewater House in London's St. James's Park with pictures from the history of the house and scenes from Comus by John Milton .
He was the painting teacher of the princesses Belosselski and Gagarine and the Duchess of Hamilton Marie Amalie von Baden . Even Frederick I of Baden showed interest in Heine Fetters work and visited several times the artist's studio. He acquired several large landscape paintings and appointed Heinefetter as court painter .
