Josef Thoma

1828-1899 Austrian

Paisajes austríacos místicos y orientalismo

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. También influenciado por el interés europeo en el llamado «orientalismo», pintó paisajes exóticos del Lejano Oriente, como se ve en su pintura Jardín en Constantinopla. Nacido en 1828 en Austria, Thoma murió en 1899 en Austria.
