Born in Mulhouse, from a Mulhouse family documented since the 16th century, ^[3] an orphan at a very young age, he was formed in Schaffhausen by the painter Hans Deggeller, then at Basel (Switzerland).

Noticed by the cardinal of Tencin, ^[4] he followed him to Rome and executed many commissions for him. The French Ambassador to Rome took him to Paris in 1742. ^[5] Heilmann lived there until his death and connected with the engraver Jean-Georges Wille and François Boucher, first painter of king Louis XV.
