Clemens von Pausinger, also Pausinger 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.
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.
