Julius Scheuerer was born in 1859. 

Like his brother, Otto Scheuerer, he was a successful animal painter.  He lived and worked in Munich.

Scheuerer studied at the Academy in Munich for a short time.  He preferred to be self-taught.  Scheuerer's work focused on the depiction of domestic birds and hens. His oeuvre shows mainly colorful flocks of birds in different constellations arranged in a decorative courtyard, on the edge of a field or by a small pool.

The style of the artist is characterized by colorful work, technical quality, romantic subjects and mainly by small sizes.

Julius Scheuerer passed away in Planegg, Germany in 1913.
