He settled in the Russian Empire after the third and final partition of Poland, enticed by an extremely generous offer from the Tsar.

That same year, he was invited to Warsaw by the court of King Stanisław II Augustus (pictured).

His younger son, Francesco, or Franz Xaver (born in Klagenfurt in 1783) settled at Warsaw in Congress Poland for the rest of his life, estranged from his father.

He painted portraits and landscapes, exhibited at Warsaw Salons, and opened an art school there in 1841.
