Johann was born in South Tyrol in 1709, the son of a miller. Holzer was educated at Marienberg Abbey but soon developed his pictorial Considerable skills. At age eighteen he painted at altarpiece for Marienberg. He continued his studies in Straubing under Joseph Anton Merz (1681 - 1750) and in Augsburg under Johann Georg Bergmüller (1688 - 1762). During this period Holzer specialized in painting large-scale frescoes and altarpieces in the increasingly popular Rococo style, particularly flamboyant in Southern Germany.
