Hans Hamza
Hans Hamza
Austrian, 1879 - 1945
Famed for intimate portraits of female sitters, Hans Hamza was deeply inspired by the masterpieces of the Dutch Golden Age. He captured a humble peasant girl with the same elegant attention that he gave elite Viennese upper class beauties, often sitting poised to the side, either reading, embroidering or flower arranging, bathed in a warm light in the manner of Johannes Vermeer. Hans Hamza also depicted jovial gentlemen and peasants in a tavern or sat by the hearth. He delighted in capturing the finest details in all his subjects, rendering an abundance of texture and form within each masterful evocation.
