In the late 19th and early 20th century, many of Zazka''s charming works were photographed for commercial and collectible postcards. Most of Zatzka''s paintings are in private collections. At the young age of eighteen, Zatzka joined Austria''s Academy of Fine Arts under the leadership of Professor Blaas. For his fine early works, in 1880, he received The Golden Fügermedal award. Zatzka, like many other artists of the era, travelled around Europe working and selling his art and in one of his many trips to Italy, he developed a special interest in Religious themes, decorating churches with frescoes as well as painting several religious scenes of Madonna''s and Child, Saints, Angels and others. In 1885, Zatzka was commissioned to paint The Naiad of Baden a ceiling fresco at Kurhaus Baden. Most of Zatzka''s income came from his work in religious art and special church commissions.
