Josef Thoma

1828-1899 Austrian

Mystische österreichische Landschaften und Orientalismus

Josef Thoma the Younger was an Austrian painter best known for his landscapes of rural Austria. Painted in the style of Romantic artist such as Eugène Delacroix and Caspar David Friedrich, his work often processed a mystical quality, created by manipulating light and natural settings. For example, in his work Berglandschaft, which depicts a wooden cabin hidden between the mountain peak, the artist uses a dark, muted color palette, adding the air of mystery. Auch beeinflusst vom europäischen Interesse am sogenannten „Orientalismus" malte er fremdländische Landschaften des Fernen Ostens, wie in seinem Gemälde Garten in Konstantinopel zu sehen ist. Thoma wurde 1828 in Österreich geboren und starb 1899 in Österreich.
