In 1818 Theodor Weller came to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. He was a student of Johann Peter von Langer, the first director of the Munich Art Academy. At the same time, the German-Danish genre painter Ernst Meyer was studying in Munich. Weller also met Peter von Cornelius here, who was brought to Munich in 1819 by Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, where, among other things, he was supposed to redesign the Glyptothek. Weller's inclination, however, was more towards describing popular life and nature. with his detailed and careful painting style, he took Peter von Hess as a role model. with his friend, the landscape painter Ernst Fries, he went to Rome in the fall of 1825. Here he was admitted to the Academy of San Luca. His wanderings in Italy took him to Naples. In 1833 Weller temporarily returned to Mannheim, from where he visited Paris and Düsseldorf in the following three years. In 1839 he moved to Italy again. He stayed in Rome again until 1848, where he became a member of the German Artists' Association in 1845 and was a member of its board in 1846/47. In 1851 he was appointed director of the Mannheim Picture Gallery. At the same time, he held the office of board of the Mannheim Art Association for 23 years and was also its curator at the end. The art historian and art writer Georg Kaspar Nagler wrote about him:

“In his pictures, W. captured life from its amiable, naive side and an outstanding talent for idyllic representation. His figures move with moderate joy or indulge in comfortable calm. ... His pictures have a special charm because of the blooming, lifelike coloring and the unaffected mastery of the delivery.”
