- The Home of the Landscape -
The landscape design follows the aesthetics of the clair-obscur woodcut technique. Developed at the beginning of the 16th century, this technique consists solely of light and dark tones. Since the sky, mountains, hills, village, and meadow do not differ in color, the landscape comes together to create an overall impression. Within this impression, the band of snow-covered mountains stands out. In the area below, the house, church tower, and grove of black trees are more prominent. Only on closer inspection do we notice the hiker walking along the white-highlighted path towards the house and the church, passing through the shaded area of the black grove. As he walks through the landscape, he returns to his place within it, where his home forms a connection with the church as a spiritual home.
About the artist
After failing to complete his apprenticeship as a lithographer, painter and clockmaker, Hans Thoma trained as an autodidact painter. In 1859 he won a scholarship to the Karlsruhe Art School, where he became a student of Wilhelm Schirmer and Ludwig Des Coudres. After graduating in 1866, Thoma spent time in Basel and Düsseldorf. He met Otto Scholderer, with whom he traveled to Paris in 1868. There he was impressed by the art of Gustave Courbet and the Barbizon School. After his works were rejected by the Karlsruhe Kunstverein, Thoma moved to Munich in 1870, where he was close to the Leibl circle. Wilhelm Trüber worked for a time in Thoma's studio in Munich. In 1874 he made the first of a series of trips to Italy with the painter Albert Lang, where he met Hans von Marées and Adolph von Hildebrand and became friends with Arnold Böcklin, whose art made a lasting impression on Thoma. On his return to Munich, Thoma became a student of Cella Berteneder, whom he married in 1877.
Thoma traveled to England in 1879 at the invitation of art collector Charles Minoprio. Over the years, Minoprio acquired more than 60 oil paintings by Thoma and organized the first exhibition of his art abroad in Liverpool in 1884. Thoma had lived in Frankfurt since 1878. The following year, the Frankfurter Kunstverein organized the first solo exhibition of his work. After a trip to the Netherlands, Thoma moved to Kronberg im Taunus in 1899, where the Kronberg painters' colony was based. That same year he was appointed professor at the Karlsruhe Art School and director of the Karlsruhe Kunsthalle. In 1901, together with Wilhelm Süs, Hans Thoma founded the Grand Ducal Majolica Manufactory in Karlsruhe, for which he supplied designs from then on.
Thoma was now at the height of his artistic fame. The 1909 edition of Meyer's Großes Konversations-Lexikon noted that Thoma had become one of the German people's favorite painters. On the occasion of his 80th birthday in 1919, Ernst Oppler and Lovis Corinth organized a large celebration. After Thoma's death, the Berlin National Gallery dedicated a major exhibition to him in 1922, and the Basel Kunsthalle in 1924.
GERMAN VERSION

- Ecken mitunter etwas bestoßen, minimale Randeinrisse, leicht nachgedunkelt, ansonsten in gutem Zustand
- Die Heimat der Landschaft -
Die Landschaftsgestaltung folgt der Ästhetik des Clair-Obscur Holzschnitts. Bei dieser zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts entwickelten Technik besteht das Bild einzig aus Hell- und Dunkeltönen. Indem sich der Himmel, die Berge, die davor gelagerten Hügel, das Dorf und die Wiesenlandschaft nicht farblich voneinander unterscheiden, zieht sich die Landschaft zu einem Gesamteindruck zusammen. Innerhalb dieses Gesamteindrucks hebt sich das Band der schneebedeckten Berge ab, während im Bereich darunter das Haus, der Kirchturm und der Hain aus schwarzen Bäumen markanter in Erscheinung treten. Erst bei genauerem Hinsehen fällt der Wanderer auf, der dem weiß gehöhten Weg folgt und gleichermaßen auf das Haus und die Kirche zuläuft, wobei er den schattigen Bereich des schwarzen Hains passiert. Die Landschaft durchwandernd kehrt er an seinen selbst zur Landschaft gehörenden Ort zurück, wo sein Heim mit der Kirche als geistiger Heimstatt einen Zusammenhang bildet.
zum Künstler
Nachdem er Lehren als Lithograph, Anstreicher und Uhrschildmaler abgebrochen hatte, bildete sich Hans Thoma autodidaktisch als Kunstmaler. Dies brachte ihm 1859 ein Stipendium für die Kunstschule in Karlsruhe ein, wo er Schüler von Wilhelm Schirmer und Ludwig Des Coudres wurde. Nach Abschluss des Studiums, 1866, hielt sich Thoma in Basel und Düsseldorf auf. Er lernte Otto Scholderer kennen, mit dem er 1868 nach Paris reiste. Dort beeindruckten ihn die Kunst Gustave Courbets und die Schule von Barbizon. Nach der Ablehnung seiner Werke im Karlsruher Kunstverein wurde Thoma 1870 in München ansässig, wo er dem Leibl-Kreis nahestand. In München arbeitete Wilhelm Trüber zeitweise in Thomas Atelier. 1874 erfolgte zusammen mit dem Maler Albert Lang die erster einer Reihe von Italienreisen, auf der er Hans von Marées und Adolph von Hildebrand kennenlernte und mit Arnold Böcklin Freundschaft schloss, dessen Kunst Thoma nachhaltig beeindruckte. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach München wurde Cella Berteneder Thomas Schülerin, die er 1877 ehelichte.
Auf Einladung des Kunstsammlers Charles Minoprio reiste Thoma 1879 nach England. Im Laufe der Jahre erwarb Minoprio mehr als 60 Ölbilder Thomas und veranstaltete 1884 die erste Auslandsausstellung seiner Kunst in Liverpool. Ab 1878 lebte Thoma in Frankfurt. Im Folgejahr zeigte der Frankfurter Kunstverein die erste Einzelausstellung seiner Werke. Nach einer Reise in die Niederlande zog Thoma 1899 nach Kronberg im Taunus, wo die Kronberger Malerkolonie ansässig war. Im selben Jahr wurde er zum Professor der Karlsruher Kunstschule und zum Direkter der Karlsruher Kunsthalle berufen. 1901 war Hans Thoma mit Wilhelm Süs Gründer der Großherzoglichen Majolika-Manufaktur Karlsruhe, für die er fortan Entwürfe lieferte.
Thoma stand nun auf dem Höhepunkt seines künstlerischen Ruhmes. Meyers Großes Konversations-Lexikon stellt in der 1909 erschienen Auflage fest, Thoma sei zu einem Lieblingsmaler des deutschen Volkes geworden. Anlässlich des 80. Geburtstags, 1919, organisierten Ernst Oppler und Lovis Corinth eine große Feierlichkeit. Nachdem Thoma verstorben war, widmete ihm die Berliner Nationalgalerie 1922 und die Basler Kunsthalle 1924 eine große Werkschau.

Agony - The architecture of decay -
Located in Berlin, DE
Jörg Olberg (*1956 Dresden), Agony, 1987. etching, E.A. (edition of 30), 24 x 17 cm (image), 46 x 37 cm (sheet), each signed in pencil lower right "Olberg" and dated "IX [19]87", inscribed lower left "E.A. [Epreuve d'Artiste]".

- The architecture of decay -
About the artwork
Jörg Olberg draws here the sum of his artistic study of the Berlin ruins, which were still present in the cityscape well into the 80s. With his work "Agony" he creates an allegory of decay. Positioned in the landscape of ruins, a ruined house grows before the viewer, rising like the Tower of Babel into the sky, its roof and gable brightly illuminated by the sun. But already the roof shows mostly only the rafters, and as the gaze is drawn further down, the building visibly disintegrates, the beams protruding in all directions looking like splintered bones. Slowly but inexorably - in agony - the house will collapse in on itself and become nothing more than the burial mound of itself. At the same time, the small-scale stone composition and the plaster form a pattern-like ornamentation of decay.
The tension in the picture is fed by the counter-movement of growth and collapse, which is heightened by the dramatic formation of clouds. The swirls of clouds are reminiscent of a world landscape...
