Johann Nepomuk Passini


(Vienna 1798-1874 Graz) In the valley of Bad Rohitsch-Sauerbrunn, with caption "Janina Sauerbrunn", watercolor on paper,25 x 33 cm, mounted, framed. A full length portrait of Aloisia Passini, neé Forstner, wife of Johann Nepomuk and sister-in-law of Josef Kriehuber. She was called"Blume des Landes" (The flower of the country), (Hu)

Bad Rohitsch-Sauerbrunn in Lower Styria (today Rogaska Slatina in Slovenia) was a popular spa with numerous mineral springs. The actor Alexander Girardi had his debut there in a play by Nestroy in the summer theater of the town in 1869; J.N. Passini executed a series of tinted lithographs with views of Rohitsch-Sauerbrunn which the artist executed in 1855/56 partly after the present studies. These works excell in a very sympathetic connection of architecture and its surrounding landscape. Passini is mentioning the villa Jankomir and the mountains Janina and Triestine hill in the legends.
