Description
Christian Paier (1839–1895) is the pioneer of European travel photography and one of the first Europeans to
have brought photographs of the Holy Land to Europe. In 1864, he bestowed an album with the photographs of the
Holy Land to Emperor Franz Joseph, which earned him great renown. The paper at hand presents Paier’s biography,
which has until recently remained largely deficient. It brings to light multiple new data on his education, diversified
family life, as well as his frequent travels to the Middle East, first in the role of a lay missionary and then as a travel
photographer. Paier was torn between the Middle East and his homeland. Owing to his frequent travels, his photographic
legacy is scattered across the entire Mediterranean and Europe, currently comprising ninety-eight documented
photographs.

- Christian Paier (1839–1895) velja za pionirja evropske popotne fotografije in enega prvih Evropejcev, ki je fotografije Svete dežele prinesel v Evropo. Leta 1864 je album podob Svete dežele podaril cesarju Francu Jožefu, s čimer si je ustvaril renome. Pričujoči članek podaja njegov življenjepis, ki je bil do sedaj precej pomanjkljiv. Predstavljeni so številni novi podatki o njegovem šolanju, pestrem družinskem življenju ter njegovih pogostih potovanjih na Bližnji vzhod, najprej v vlogi laiškega misijonarja in nato kot popotnega fotografa. Paier je bil razpet med Bližnjim vzhodom in domovino, pogosto se je selil, zato je njegova fotografska zapuščina raztresena po celotnem Sredozemlju in Evropi, trenutno je evidentiranih osemindevetdeset fotografij.
