Clemens von Pausinger , also Pausinger - Frankenburg (born March 1, 1855 in Parsch near Salzburg , † January 3, 1936 in Vienna ) was an Austrian academic painter from the von Pausinger family .

He grew up as the son of Carl Valentin von Pausinger and Henriette, Baroness Weichs, at Almegg Castle and at the age of 18 went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , where he studied with Lindenschmit , Piloty , Strähuber and Kaulbach , among others . He moved from Munich to Florence for two years and studied there under Böcklin , after which he went to Rome for four years . There he made friends with Hans von Marées , whom he described as the basis of his later success. In Rome he married Aemilia Bandiera de Prosperis in 1881. After this time in Italy he returned to Munich, where he Bruno Piglhein the pastel painting studied. His portraits in this painting technique quickly made him famous and gave him many commissions, especially noble ladies wanted to be painted by him. In 1892 he lived for a short time in Abbazia as a guest of Crown Princess Stephanie . Further assignments took him back to Rome, Madrid and Paris , where he also opened an art studio (he maintained another in Vienna). In France he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor , Spain awarded him the Orden de Isabel la Católica .

While he was celebrated and honored by society, it happened that he was panned by art critics. Examples of its contemporary reception:

“... he is a master who is currently hardly surpassed. His conception is fresh and lively, his lines noble, the treatment of the clay exemplary [...] His pastel works are true to life and unique of their kind. "

- The humorist October 1, 1894

“… In addition, in the converted smaller hall, the Austrian Clemens von Pausinger shows some fifteen extremely licked and sugared portraits, almost without exception portraits of noble or rich ladies, very characterless and sweet, reminiscent of the last bad things of Gervex […] One must be very rich and understand very little about art in order to be painted like that. "

- EA Seemann : Kunstchronik 1904

He was a member of the Künstlerhaus Wien , the Viennese artists' association Alte Welt and a founding member of the Hagenbund . For the Hagenbund he exhibited in the first study and sketch exhibition in 1899 and the second study and sketch exhibition in 1900. At the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 he was a delegate for Austria in the jury for painters. After the First World War , at the invitation of the King of Egypt , he spent two winters in Cairo, where he painted the King and members of royal society.

In the autumn of 1935, Pausinger was evicted from his art studio at the Viennese meat market and had to move to the Lainz supply house , where he died on January 3, 1936 of pneumonia. He is buried in a grave of honor at the Hietzingen cemetery . After his death, his widow received financial support from the Künstlerhaus.

Clemens von Pausinger was a cousin of Franz von Pausinger and father of the resistance fighter Clemens Pausinger .
