Josef Thoma

1828-1899 Austrian

Paisagens austríacas místicas 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. Também influenciado pelo interesse europeu no chamado «orientalismo», ele pintou paisagens exóticas do Extremo Oriente, como visto em sua pintura Jardim em Constantinopla. Nascido em 1828 na Áustria, Thoma morreu em 1899 na Áustria.
