He studied from 1817 at the Viennese academy of the forming arts with Johann Baptist Lampi, Anton Petter and Johann Peter Krafft. 1826/27 followed its first large journey to Moscow and St. Petersburg. From the imperial coart he kept the order for a row of portraits and to Alexander Puschkins " Eugen Onegin" developed six illustrations. In Ranftls early work history pictures and portraits dominate, while he turned in later years to more the genre painting. Scenes from the everyday life, often with a socialcritical undertone, offered plentifully pictorial material to it. Persons in all age groups encourage the image space, supplemental by or other domestic animal. Here above all the representation of a dog could not be missing in the late work. This preference brought it the surname " Dog Raffael" .
