Education

Niehaus began working as a marble and wood carver and then gained entrance to the McMichen School of Design in Cincinnati and later studied at the Royal Academy in Munich, Germany. The effect of the german study was that he retained much of the neo-classic flavor in his art while most other sculptors of his generation were drawn towards beaux-arts realism.

Career

Niehaus returned to America in 1881 and by virtue of being a native Ohioan was commissioned to execute statue of the recently assassinated President Garfield, who was also from Ohio. Following that he created a statue of Ohioan William Allen that was placed in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., along with his statue of Garfield.
