Quaglio began his career painting scenery for architectural stage sets, later turning to drawing and painting architecture and landscapes.

In 1833, then Crown Prince Maximilian II of Bavaria commissioned him to oversee the restoration of the royal castle of Schloss Hohenschwangau, an unusual architectural monument which is open to the public today.
