Hans Zatzka (born Johann Franz Čačka; March 8, 1859 - December 17, 1945) also known as P. Ronsard was an Academic Austrian artist. He was a pupil at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Vienna between 1877 and 1882. Zatzka was a painter of allegorical subjects, genre scene paintings, and figures. Zatzka spent many years dedicating his painting to the churches and other known establishments of Austria.

Zatzka dedicated most of his artistic life to decorating the numerous churches in Vienna and those in Mayerling, Olmutz and Innsubruck. His religious paintings and altar piece paintings were highly regarded but he was more widely known for his passionate paintings depicting women, fairies and mythological subjects. Aware of the huge popularity of his paintings of women Zatzka produced many of them and even had some of them reproduced as postcards. Today, Hans Zatzka paintings are sought-after by collectors as are his postcards.
