(bapt Radovljica, 14 Oct 1675; d Vienna, 23 Sept 1718). Austrian painter of Slovenian birth. He trained with his father, Johann Georg Remb (c. 1650–1716). His first dated work is the oil painting Sacratissimum cor Jesu (1702) in the Bishop’s Palace in Ljubljana. From 1702/3 until 1710 he worked in Graz for Count Attems, who sent him to study in Italy. In 1711 Remb moved to Vienna, where he became ‘historicus Caesareus’, the emperor’s historical painter, and the principal of the painting school of Prince John Adam of Liechtenstein. He executed frescoes and oil paintings of allegorical, mythological and biblical scenes, and he was influenced by the work of Luca Giordano, Guido Reni and Hans Adam Weissenkircher. Most of his preserved works are in Austria: in the Palais Attems, Graz; in the Peterskirche in Vienna (e.g. the Beheading of St Barbara, 1714); in Kremsmünster, near Linz; and in St Florian Abbey, where he worked after 1714.
