Schikaneder came from the Family of a German customs office clerk. Despite the family's poor background, he was able to pursue his studies, thanks in part to his family's love of art; an ancestor was Urban Schikaneder, the Elder brother of the librettist Emanuel Schikaneder. After having completed his studies in Praha and Munich (1871-1879), Schikaneder, alongside Emanuel Krescenc Liska, was involved  in the furnishing of the royal box in the National Theatre in Praha; however, this work was lost in a fire in 1881. After his work in the National Theatre, Schikaneder travelled through Europe, visiting Germany, England, Scotland, The netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and France. From 1891 until 1923 he taught in Praha's Art College. Schikaneder counted amongst those who admired the Munich School of the end of the 19th century.

He died in 1924 and was buried in Vinohrady Cemetery in Praha.
