About the Item
Hans Thoma (1839 Bernau - 1924 Karlsruhe), Southern German summer landscape, around 1897. Algraph on strong wove paper, published by Breitkopf und Härtel in Leipzig as ‘Zeitgenössisches Kunstblatt Nr. 106’, 33 cm x 45.5 cm (image), 40 cm x 50 cm (sheet size), signed lower left. With publisher's sticker on verso.
- Corners occasionally slightly bumped, slightly darkened, otherwise in very good condition
- The profile of the landscape -
A young mother and her child sit in a flowery meadow with long, swaying grasses. The grasses form a darker zone that closes off the bottom of the picture. At the top of the picture, branches of a cherry tree covered in fruit protrude into the scene, closing it off in the same darker tonality. This creates an internal frame that encloses the view of the much brighter summer landscape, drawing attention to it. However, the frame also emphasizes the mother, whose austere profile highlights her natural beauty and belongs to the darker framing. In this way, she is analogous to the landscape, revealing her harmoniously balanced beauty.
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
Hans Thoma (1839 Bernau - 1924 Karlsruhe), Süddeutsche Sommerlandschaft, um 1897. Algraphie auf kräftigem Velin, bei Breitkopf und Härtel in Leipzig als ‚Zeitgenössisches Kunstblatt Nr. 106‘ erschienen, 33 cm x 45,5 cm (Darstellung), 40 cm x 50 cm (Blattgröße), links unten mit Signet versehen. Rückseitig mit Verlagsaufkleber.
- Ecken mitunter etwas bestoßen, leicht nachgedunkelt, ansonsten in sehr gutem Zustand
- Das Profil der Landschaft -
Eine junge Mutter und ihr Kind sitzen auf einer Blumenwiese mit langen bewegten Gräsern, die eine das Bild nach unten abschließende dunklere Zone bildet. Am oberen Bildrand ragen früchtebehangene Kirschbaumzweige ins Bild, die das Bild in ebenderselben dunkleren Tonalität nach oben hin abschließen. Dadurch entsteht ein Binnenrahmen, der den Ausblick auf die deutlich hellere Sommerlandschaft einfasst und die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Landschaft lenkt. Der Rahmen hebt aber auch die selbst zur dunkleren Rahmung gehörende Mutter hervor, deren strenges Profil ihre natürliche Schönheit herausstellt. Auf diese Weise tritt sie in Analogie zur Landschaft und offenbart ihre ebenfalls harmonisch ausgewogenen Schönheit.
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.
