Artists - Part 89

Hans Canon

Hans Canon was the pseudonym used by Austrian artist Johann Baptist Strašiřipka (1829-1885), no doubt due to difficulties that people had with his Slavic name.  Above, a self-portrait, 1868.

He mostly painted portraits and historical scenes.  Above is a large work The Circle of Life in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.  There is some nudity, but it's restrained and mostly covered.

However, he did paint a few full nude paintings, and interestingly, they're all male.  Above, Seated Male Nude.

Reclining Nude, 1876.

Male Nude.  It's clearly the same model as the previous painting

We end with Study of a Male Nude.

He painted some nicely built males who had nice cocks.
