Josef Thoma

1828-1899 Austrian

Paysages autrichiens mystiques et orientalisme

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. Également influencé par l'intérêt européen pour le soi-disant « orientalisme », il a peint des paysages exotiques de l'Extrême-Orient, comme on peut le voir dans sa peinture Jardin à Constantinople. Né en 1828 en Autriche, Thoma est mort en 1899 en Autriche.
