HANS See also:THOMA (1839- ) , See also:German painter, was See also:born at Bernau in the See also:Black See also:Forest . Having started See also:life as a painter of See also:clock-faces, he entered in, 1859 theCarlsruhe See also:academy, where he studied under See also:Schirmer and See also:Des Coudres . He subsequently studied and worked, with but indifferent success, in See also:Dusseldorf, See also:Paris, See also:Italy, See also:Munich and See also:Frankfort, until his reputation became firmly established as the result of an See also:exhibition of some See also:thirty of his paintings in Munich . In spite of his studies under various masters, his See also:art has little in See also:common with See also:modern ideas,. and is formed partly by his See also:early impressions of the See also:simple idyllic life of his native See also:district, partly by his sympathy with the early German masters—particularly with See also:Altdorfer and See also:Cranach . In his love of the details of nature, in his precise (though by no means faultless) See also:drawing of outline, and in his predilection for See also:local colouring, he has distinct See also:affinities with the pre-Raphaelites . Many of his pictures have found their way into two private collections in See also:Liverpool . A portrait of the artist, and two subject pictures, " The See also:Guardian of the Valley " and " See also:Spring Idyll," are at the See also:Dresden See also:Gallery; " See also:Eve in See also:Paradise " and " The Open Valley " at the Frankfort Museum . Other important pictures of his are " Paradise," " See also:Christ and Nicodemus," " The See also:Flight into See also:Egypt," " See also:Charon," " Pieta," " See also:Adam and Eve," " Solitude," " Tritons," besides many landscapes and portraits . He has also produced numerous lithographs and See also:pen drawings, and some decorative mural paintings, notably, in a cafe at Frankfort, and in the See also:music See also:room of Mr Pringsheimer's See also:house in Munich . |
