Philippot was born in Sainte-Menehould, France. In 1833, he set up a studio in Linz.[2] He remained in Linz until 1839, when he became the Court Painter to Prince Schwarzenberg at Český Krumlov.[3] During his service to the House of Schwarzenberg, he painted portraits of many prominent members of the Rosenberg family, Eggenberg family, and Schwarzenberg family. He also painted the altarpieces in the chapel of Český Krumlov Castle.[4]
