Biographie

 

Hans ZATZKA est né le 8 mars 1859 à Vienne d'un ouvrier. Il grandit dans cette ville qu'il ne quittera jamais longtemps.

SIl était doué pour la peinture, et ce , dès le plus jeune âge.  C'est en 1877 qu'il commença l'Académie des Beaux-Arts, jusqu'en 1882, sous le Professeur Blaas. Il obtint une récompense en 1880. Hans Zatzka fit plusieurs voyages d'étude en Italie, où il prit le goût des fresques, des peintures d'église et des portraits qu'il peint plus tard. Zatzka développa un intérêt social dans les peintures de genre, des représentations idéales des femmes et des cupidons.

Âgé de 26 ans seulement, Hans ZATZKA obtint sa première grande commande : la fresque du plafond de la Kurhaus Baden, dans les environs de Vienne. Y était représenté la Naiade de Baden, aux côtés de petits anges et d'inscriptions historiques.

Hans ZATZKA gagna sa vie par l'art religieux, par la peinture d'églises et autres.

Il ne prit aucun apprenti ni ne donna de cours : il consacrait sa vie à créer des oeuvres.

Sa famille n'avait que les moments de repas pour le voir.

Hans ZATZKA peint jusqu'à l'âge de 80 ans. À 87 ans, il accepta d'être professeur... et mourut quelques mois après, en décembre 1945.

 

 

 

Hans Zatzka was born on March 8, 1859 in Vienna to a builder. He grew up in the 19th disctrict of Vienna, Breitenseer Strasze 2. (Throughout his life, he never left this home for a longer period of time)

His gift for fine arts already became apparent at an early age. He went to the Academy of Fine Arts from 1877 to 1882, where he studied under Prof. Blaas with much success and was awarded the Golden Fügermedal in 1880. He made several study trips to Italy, later he practised fresco, paitings in churches and portraits. He developed a special interest in genre pictures, ideal depictions of women and cupids

At the age of 26 he got his first significant, public engagement: the ceiling fresco at "Kurhaus Baden" in the vicinity of Vienna. Depicted was "The Naiad of Baden" (originally called "Badener Quellennymphe") with cupids and historical inscriptions.

Hans Zatzka lived on religious art, the painting of churches and altarpieces. He lived in his homely study; absorbed in his work, he never took apprentices or accepted teaching engagements.

The only opportunity his family had to see him was during meals. He painted until the age of 80. On Jul 9th, 1945, the Viennese then-vicemayor Kuntschak himself suggested in writing to subsecretary Prof. Dr. Karl Lugmayer at Minoritenplatz that the 87 year old painter be made professor

On August 16th, 1945 the headmaster of the Academy of Fine Arts reported that the professorial council had unanimously approved of the ministerial proposal.

Hans Zatzka died on December 17th, 1945.
