He was one of the most popular artists of his generation, producing many paintings of historical scenes, including a series on Swiss national hero William Tell. His pseudonym Stückelberger was made his legal name by the government of Basel in 1885.

Among his best-known works are the frescos at the Tellskapelle, and the painting Girl With a Lizard of 1884. He produced hundreds of incidental miniatures, painted on small wooden boards.
