His father, Johann Martin Feuerstein, was a sculptor. By 1870, he was studying in Munich.

[1] His experiences there inspired him to devote himself to religious art when he returned to Munich. From 1898 to 1924, he was the Professor of Religious Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts; the last person to hold that chair. [2] Among his best-known students were Theodor Baierl, Joseph Ehrismann, the church painter Josef Wittmann and Leo Götz. [3]
