Helene Birnbacher, geborene von St\u00e4hling (* 11. Januar 1859 in Broos; \u2020 12. Mai 1923 in Bad Hofgastein), war eine \u00f6sterreichische Portr\u00e4tmalerin.<\/p>\n
Helene von St\u00e4hling war die Tochter eines Kreiskommiss\u00e4rs und wurde in der Kleinstadt Broos in Siebenb\u00fcrgen geboren. 1864 zog ihre Familie in die Steiermark um. Sie besuchte die Volksschule in Murau und St. Gallen und ab 1869 eine private T\u00f6chterschule in Graz. Ab 1874 studierte sie an der Grazer Landeszeichnungsakademie unter Heinrich Schwach und Hermann von K\u00f6nigsbrunn. Bereits w\u00e4hrend ihrer Ausbildung erhielt sie Auftr\u00e4ge als Portr\u00e4tmalerin.<\/p>\n
1881 heiratete sie den Augenarzt Alois Birnbacher (1849\u20131915), der in Graz ein privates Ambulatorium er\u00f6ffnete und an der Universit\u00e4t lehrte. Aus der Ehe gingen drei T\u00f6chter und ein Sohn hervor.<\/p>\n
Helene Birnbacher bildete sich kontinuierlich weiter und besuchte Malschulen in Venedig und M\u00fcnchen, wo sie bei Alexander Koester und Heinrich Knirr lernte. Zudem nahm sie Modellierunterricht bei Karl Peckary an der Kunstgewerbeschule Graz. Ab 1885 stellte sie regelm\u00e4\u00dfig mit dem Steierm\u00e4rkischen Kunstverein in Graz aus und beteiligte sich auch an Ausstellungen der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler Steiermarks, deren Mitglied sie 1905 wurde.<\/p>\n
Helene Birnbacher starb 1923 im Alter von 64 Jahren an einer Lungenentz\u00fcndung. Sie malte vor allem Portr\u00e4ts, aber auch Landschaften und Tiere in \u00d6l und Pastell. Ihre Portr\u00e4ts, die sie h\u00e4ufig im Auftrag der gehobenen Gesellschaft von Graz anfertigte, waren typische Gesellschaftsportr\u00e4ts der Zeit des Historismus und zeichneten sich durch eine hohe Portr\u00e4t\u00e4hnlichkeit aus. Werke von ihr befinden sich in den Sammlungen des Graz Museums und der Neuen Galerie Graz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
