Hans Zatzka

"P. Ronsard" redirects here. For the poet, see Pierre de Ronsard.
Not to be confused with the sculptor Joseph Bernard.
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]
