During his studies he decided to study theology.
He served as rector of the seminary.
His theological career ended as Jindrichuv Hradec provost. In art he became famous because of his popular engravings of city views.
Juhn captured the character of local cities such as Ceské Budejovice, Jindrichuv Hradec, Pacov, Pocátky, Prachatice, Kamenice nad Lipou, Písek, Tábor, and Vodnany. He collaborated with leading engravers George Karl Dobler and Postle, who was the first Czech classical landscape painter and printmaker.
