Josef Thoma

1828-1899 Austrian

Paesaggi austriaci mistici e 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. Influenzato anche dall'interesse europeo per il cosiddetto «orientalismo», dipinse paesaggi esotici dell'Estremo Oriente, come si vede nel suo dipinto Giardino a Costantinopoli. Nato nel 1828 in Austria, Thoma morì nel 1899 in Austria.
