Grunewald immigrated to Philadelphia with his family in 1831 and then relocated to Bethlehem where he lived most of his life
until returning to Europe in the later 1860s, where he died in 1878 at the Moravian colony of Gnadenberg (Poland). From the
1830s to 1860s, he also exhibited at the Franklin Institute and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts as well as designed
works sold by the American Art Union.
