In 1860, Schindler became a student of Albert Zimmermann at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, with whom he only followed in terms of painting technique. His role models were Dutch masters like Meindert Hobbema and Jacob Izaaksoon van Ruisdael. Hans Makart was one of Schindler's close friends. In 1873, Schindler travelled to Venice, in 1874 to Dalmatia and in 1875 to Holland. In 1879, Schindler married the singer Anna Sofie Bergen. The young family initially shared the apartment with Schindler's friend and colleague Julius Victor Berger. In 1881, Schindler won the Reichel Artist Prize. This was followed by a series of commissions and picture sales. From 1885, Schindler spent the summer in Plankenberg Castle near Neulengbach. An artists' colony was established here, where Schindler taught Marie Egner and others. In 1887, Schindler was commissioned by Crown Prince Rudolf to capture coastal locations in Dalmatia and Greece in ink drawings and watercolors as part of the project "The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Words and Images". The journey led to Schindler being considered one of the most important painters of the k.u.k. Monarchy. In 1887, he was made an honorary member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The following year he became an honorary member of the Munich Academy. In 1891, Schindler received the Golden State Medal. Schindler's wife ended her love affair with Julius Victor Berger and began a new one with Schindler's student and assistant Carl Moll, whom she married after Schindler's death. Schindler began as the successor to Ferdinand Georg Waldmueller. In contrast to the romanticizing tendencies of contemporary landscape painting, Schindler strived for realistic depiction. His poetic disposition, which led him early and quite independently of the French painters who were striving in the same direction to create an atmospheric landscape, was revealed in 1864 in a cycle of illustrations for Zedlitz's idyll "Das Waldfraeulein". For his landscapes in oil, he initially chose motifs from the Prater, later from Moravia, Hungary and Holland. Schindler is attributed to late impressionism.
