Commissioned works of art institutions and publishers [Edit]
To turn of the century were Zatzka images from picture postcards sales in the "Wiener Gallery Artists" and sold by other publishers. To about 1906, Adolf May discovered in Dresden factory Zatzka for his paintings, later art institutions May AG (KAMAG), and gave him precise instructions in order to test the suitability for mass production. From 1914 Zatzka images were of large numbers of KAMAG oil sold as prints, including the first bedroom pictures. The works can be divided into three groups:
Signature Hans Zatzka
The dance paintings have titles like "dancing flowers", "Spring Fever", "Maytime". You go back to one of classical models, which go back to Peter Paul Rubens, but also have roots in the season-and age-allegory, as it was taken up among others by Camille Corot, Hans Thoma and Franz von Stuck.
Visions such as "dream wedding" with her scantily clad ladies and cupids swarm back to the theme often taken up the sleeping Venus, was the first time with Pierre Paul Prud'hon supplemented by numerous cherubs.
The third genus is that of Kahn images reproduced under titles like "Mermaids Dream," "Elf Game" and "Lost Dream" were.
From 1924 to Zatzka KAMAG painted for the competition, especially for Felix friend in Berlin, where he had to deliver, according to his relatives, two images per week. His clients since the mid-1930s are no longer observed.
Church painting [Edit]

Apse of the church Baumgartner
From the mid-1920s took Zatzka the religious painting of public contracts on again, often for the church of his brother Louis Zatzka.
For the Saint. Lawrence dedicated Breitenseer parish church, built in 1896-98 by his brother Louis, painted Zatzka not only the altarpiece, depicting Mary with the Christ child, including the St. Lawrence and St. Francis of Assisi and of angels, but also created the paintings above the side altars, representing the temptation Jesus and the inclusion of St. Lawrence in the sky, and 23 medallions with saints, but these were painted over later. [2] The parish church of Breitenfeld in Vienna 8 created Zatzka frescoes and sixteen medallions with portraits of the twelve apostles and the four Fathers of the Church, which after bomb damage in 1945, paints and only were discovered in 1998. He also made the fresco "The Last Judgment" in the Arc de Triomphe and the angel medallions between the windows on the left wall of the church of the monastery church "to Holy Family" in Marianneum in Hetzendorferstraße (1887/88), which were also uncovered in 1988 (the convent chapel is also a building by Ludwig Zatzka).
The triptych of the hospital chapel in the hospital Hietzing (formerly Kaiser-Jubilee Hospital) shows not only the protector of the oppressed Vindobona as well as Vienna's mayor, Karl Lueger, the average image that shows the Saviour as a comforter of the sick. The dying man is wearing the face of Lueger, who is recognizable in other forms of altarpieces. The left image shows the festive occasion of the construction of the hospital as a joint effort of the City of Vienna and the imperial family, the right image, the charity as the winner of all diseases. The Art Nouveau-altar is made of the remains of the famous Otto Wagner church Steinhof.
In the Church of St. Charles Borromeo in the geriatric center at the Vienna Woods (formerly Lainz nursing home) is the triptych of Zatzka. Here, too, Lueger Zatzka of the right wing of the high altar picture was as the founder of the blueprint in hand shown kneeling in old German clothing, an example of "Bourgeoisifikation" religious painting (Floridus Roehrig). The middle shows the saint Charles Borromeo Church, left an old married couple sheltered by an angel.
Altarpieces Zatzka also created for Baumgartner parish church (apse painting behind the altar) and the Chapel of Mayerling (1895), also a construction of his brother, and for the Lueger's Church at Vienna's Central Cemetery ("The Last Judgment" - by Karl Lueger shroud - and series of paintings on the altar, 1910).
Copyright dispute
After Zatzka had painted the picture for Felix friend dancing flowers, sued Adolf Zatzka May 1924 Elf dance for an injunction and damages for copyright infringement of the image. Zatzka had contractually ceded all rights to this image to the publisher. Then Zatzka left before the district court in Dresden to determine whether May had a copyright interest in his work. This was first affirmed by the Court of Appeal, however, denied. A decision of the Supreme Court in 1928 affirmed the decision of the highest instance. The Committee stated, May was not a "co-creators" of Zatzka pictures, contract is the painting of "competition works" is not excluded, an art form is in contrast to a single work of art can not be protected and the flower dance was another work of art as the elf dance.
