He was the son of Daniel Beich a painter of little celebrity from whom he received his instruction in the art. He excelled in painting landscapes and battles. His best works are in the palaces of the Elector of Bavaria in whose employment he was for several years; among these are several large pictures of the battles fought in Hungary by the Elector Maximilian Emmanuel.
