Hans Zatzka (8 March 1859 – 17 December 1945[1] or 1949[2]) was an Austrian Academic and fantasy[3] painter. He has sometimes been known as P. Ronsard,[2] Pierre de Ronsard,[1] or H. Zabateri,[3][4] and signed many of his works as Joseph Bernard, J. Bernard, or Bernard Zatzka.[5] The purpose of Zatzka's vast array of pseudonyms was to avoid penalties of breaking contracts which limited the amount of artwork he could sell.[1][5] This has caused some art databases to conflate Zatzka's work under the pseudonym Joseph Bernard with the French sculptor with the same name.[5]

Biography

Hans Zatzka was born on 8 March 1859 in Vienna. His father Bartholomaüs was a construction worker, and his mother was Marie Karpischek Zatzka.[6] Between 1877 and 1882, he studied at the Academie des Beaux-Arts,[2] under Christian Griepenkerl, Carl Wurzinger, and Karl von Blaas.[1] Zatzka was able to earn a living through the production of frescoes for churches and other institutions.[1][3]

In 1885, Zatzka was commissioned to create the ceiling fresco The Naiad of Baden at Kurhaus Baden.[5]

Artwork

Many of Zatzka's works were religious paintings and altar pieces dedicated to various churches in Austria.[2] However, he is more known for his paintings of women, fairies,[2] and other fantastical scenes.[3] Often, he would draw inspiration from the works of Richard Wagner and the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.[3]

In the late 19th and early 20th century, several pieces by Zatzka were photographed and made into commercial and collectable postcards.[1][5]

During the 1920s, Zatzka's style became the decor of choice throughout Europe.[3] In addition, the previous thirty years held a resurgence for Zatzka.[7]

Currently, most of Zatzka's paintings reside in private collections.[5]

Sales

Between 1997 and 2008, 619 of his paintings had been sold, amounting to a total value of $945,495.[8] On average his paintings sell for $49,762.[9] The greatest sum a painting has garnered in auction was $176,988.[9]

In 2007, Zatka's 'A superb pair of oval paintings on canvas' sold at the Aspire Auctions for $53,763.[10]

Legacy

In 2004, Somalia created stamps with four Zatzka motifs: a harem dancer, a few nymphs, a spring goddess, and the night sky.[1]
