Hans Zatzka

(Austrian, 1859–1945)

Hans Zatzka was an Austrian painter known for his paintings of religious, mythological, and allegorical subjects. A portrait, landscape, and still life artist, Zatzka’s work was often used to decorate church interiors. Born on March 8, 1859 in Vienna, Austria, the artist studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna for five years, perfecting his rich Classicist style under Carl von Blaas, Christian Ludwig Griepenkerl, and Carl Wurzinger. He is credited for popularizing a smaller canvas size for placement in cramped spaces, which became sought-after throughout European homes early in the 20th century. Zatzka died December 17, 1945 in his hometown of Vienna, Austria at the age of 86 as a preternaturally prolific painter: he often signed his pieces under the names P. (Pierre) (de) Ronsard or J. (Joseph) Bernard, or a host of other pseudonyms in order to sell more work out of stipulated contractual agreements.
