Hans Frank and his twin brother Leo were both landscape painters in Vienna. Hans was also a printmaker working initially both in etching and aquatint as well as colour woodcut, for which he became particularly known; his favoured subjects landscapes, and animals and birds.

He studied at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna 1902-1906, and after a year’s military service, attended the Vienna Academy for four years. He exhibited a number of times with the Vienna Secession. During the Great War he was a commissioned officer in the Dolomites and the Tyrol and after the War he travelled widely through Europe before settling in Vienna with his wife and family 1924-25.
