Johann Philipp Graf von Cobenzl (28 May 28 1741, Laibach - 30 August 1810, Vienna, Austrian Empire) was a Carniolan nobleman, working as a diplomat of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Austrian Empire. His parents were the count Guido von Cobenzl and the countess Maria Benigna von Montrichier.[1] He worked as the ambassador of the Habsburg Monarchy in Paris till his retirement in 1805, and then lived in Vienna. He greatly contributed to the education and career of the Neoclassicist painter Franz Caucig.[2] In 1809, he informed Napoleon Bonaparte about the demographics of the newly established Illyrian Provinces.
[edit] Notes
Regarding personal names: Graf was a title until 1919, translated as Count, not a first or middle name. The female form is Gräfin. In Germany, however, since 1919 Graf/Gräfin is no title any more but part of the surname and thus following the given name(s) and not to be translated.
