Life
He was born as the 15th child of the blacksmith Josef Fidel Sandhaas and the youngest brother of the mother of Carl Friedrich Sandhaas , who also became a painter and both of whom have enriched each other in their work since their stay in Darmstadt .
Josef Sandhaas received his training as a painter from the painter Joseph Anton Morath in Stühlingen and began his career as a monastery painter in the Benedictine monastery in Villingen .
He received his further training, especially in the field of architectural decorative painting, under the classical architect Friedrich Weinbrenner in Karlsruhe . He had been in Karlsruhe since 1802 at the latest and took on commissioned work for the grand ducal family of Baden: in 1802 he designed the frieze of figures on the walls of the Hereditary Prince's Palace in Karlsruhe, which has now been destroyed . The ceiling and wall paintings in the parlor of the Margravial Palace in the city can be assigned to him from 1810 . Together with Feodor Iwanowitsch Kalmück, he painted the dance hall of the Badischer Hof in Karlsruhe in 1812 . In the same year he took over the wall painting of the St. Stephen's Church in Karlsruhe, which was finished in 1813. In 1816 Sandhaas is ascribed the marbling of the walls of the Protestant city church in Karlsruhe, although he had been employed as a decorative painter at the court theater in Darmstadt since October 1815 . In 1817 and 1818 he is said to have carried out the order to paint the dome in St. Stephen's Church.
In Darmstadt, Sandhaas worked closely with the builder Georg Moller , whom he also portrayed. In 1817 he was given by Moller contract for the grisaille -Brüstungsmalereien in the newly built Protestant Church in Gräfenhausen taught. After the new construction of the opera house in Darmstadt was carried out under Moller's direction from 1818 , Josef Sandhaas was commissioned to paint the interior from 1819. With the opening of the new theater building, he was awarded the official title of Grand Ducal court and theater painter , and he was responsible for the architectural decorative painting . After the painter Georg Primavesi left Darmstadt, he was also responsible for landscape painting .
For his further education in this area he was able to travel numerous times, including a. to Munich , Salzburg , the Black Forest and Paris . He created a large number of cityscapes of Darmstadt, a significant part of which have been preserved and are kept in the city archive.
On June 10, 1822, he married the actress and opera singer Julie Franck, with whom he had three children. His sons Georg and Carl August became lawyers , their daughter died early.
With a high salary for his time of around 1200 guilders , which he was able to increase through private tuition and an apprenticeship from 1826 at the secondary school in Darmstadt, as well as his wife's salary, he belonged to the well-to-do middle class of the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt .
