Johann Baptist the Younger studied from June 3, 1786 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Hubert Maurer and Heinrich Friedrich Füger . Later he worked under his father. He followed this to St. Petersburg in 1791 , where he stayed until 1804.

Stylistically, he couldn't break away from his father. He painted public figures of the time, but also genre scenes and religious subjects.
