He was apprenticed to his father, who trained him in drawing and copperplate engraving. He rose to prominence aged only sixteen with the publication of his engraveings in a work by Pallas [c1787]. In 1791-1792 he published a set of 100 hand-colored copperplate engravings of insects called Insekten-Cabinet nach der Natur gezeichnet und gestochen [Insect cabinet, drawn and engraved from nature]. In 1796 Sturm published the catalogue of his own insect collection. As a result of his work and expanding network of contacts with entomologists and other scientists, his collection grew so rapidly that he issued an enlarged second edition only four years later, in 1800, and eventually a third in 1826 and a fourth in 1843. His became one of the largest and most valuable private collections in Europe, consulted and cited by entomologists throughout the scientific world. From the 1790s until his death in 1848, Sturm produced engravings for a wide array of natural-history publications in Germany. He was a founding member of the Naturhistorische Gesellschaft zu Nürnberg in 1801, and was made an honorary member of many prestigious scientific societies throughout Germany, Russia, and Sweden, as well as of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and the General Union Philosophical Society of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In 1846 Sturm was awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy honoris causa by the University of Breslau. He died at his home in Nuremberg in 1848.
