Born c. 1823, as Antonio Zeno, Shindler studied art in Paris, moving to the United States with anthropologist William Henry Blackmore c. 1845. While in the United States, he lived in Philadelphia, working as a professor for the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 1852, he married Justina Fontaine, having one daughter together.
