life and work

Little is known about the artist B. Bachmann-Hohmann's biography. There is evidence that he was active in Vienna and the rest of Austria around the middle of the 19th century . He was particularly active as a lithographer in the revolutionary years of 1848/49 , so today there is a collection of around 100 sheets with scenes of the Imperial and Royal Army from the theaters of war in Northern Italy and Hungary in the Vienna Army History Museum . Another collection of around 30 sheets from the revolutionary years is in the Austrian National Library . Bachmann-Hohmann is likely to have stayed in Leipzig around 1854 , since the collections of the City History Museum in Leipzig contain oil paintings with a riding scene (dated “Leipzig 1854”) and a self-portrait. He was repeatedly represented with his works at the exhibitions of the Austrian Art Association, for example in March 1851 with an episode from the battle near Komorn on June 2, 2849 (oil painting) and in May 1851 with a battle near Babolna on December 28, 1848 .
