'''Hans Thoma''' (October 2, 1839 – November 7, 1924) was a German [[Painting|painter]]. |

He was born in [[Bernau im Schwarzwald|Bernau]] in the [[Black Forest]], [[German Confederation|Germany]]. Having started life as a painter of [[clock face]]s, he entered in 1859 the Karlsruhe academy, where he studied under [[Johann Wilhelm Schirmer]] and [[Ludwig des Coudres]]. He subsequently studied and worked, with but indifferent success, in [[Düsseldorf]], [[Paris]], [[Italy]], [[Munich]] and [[Frankfurt]], until his reputation became firmly established as the result of an exhibition of some thirty of his paintings in Munich. He died in [[Karlsruhe]] in 1924 at the age of 85. |

In spite of his studies under various masters, his art has little in common with modern ideas, and is formed partly by his early impressions of the simple idyllic life of his native district, partly by his sympathy with the early German masters, particularly with [[Albrecht Altdorfer]] and [[Lucas Cranach the Elder]]. In his love of the details of nature, in his precise (though by no means faultless) drawing of outline, and in his predilection for local coloring, he has distinct affinities with the [[Pre-Raphaelites]]. |

Many of his pictures have found their way into two private collections in [[Liverpool]]. A portrait of the artist, and two subject pictures, ''The Guardian of the Valley'' and ''Spring Idyll'', are at the [[Galerie Neue Meister]]; ''Eve in Paradise'' and ''The Open Valley'' at the [[Städel]]. Other important pictures of his are ''Paradise'', ''Christ and Nicodemus'', ''The Flight into Egypt'', ''Charon'', ''Pietà'', ''Adam and Eve'', ''Solitude'', ''Tritons'', besides many landscapes and portraits. |
|||
He also produced numerous [[lithograph]]s and pen drawings, and some decorative [[mural painting]]s, notably in a café at [[Frankfurt]], and in the music room of the [[Alfred Pringsheim]] house in [[Munich]]. |
