Life
His father Josef Anton Puellacher was already active as a church painter. He worked from around 1786 to 1787 in the Swiss region of St. Gallen ( Hagenwil Castle ). Leopold Josef Puellacher was trained in painting by his father at a young age before he started his apprenticeship with Anton Hitzentaler and Johann Georg Kapeller in Linz .
