Hans Thoma
German, 1839–1924
Hans Thoma was a German Impressionism artist. 34 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw. Hans Thoma was born in Bernau im Schwarzwald.
Hans Thoma (2 October 1839 – 7 November 1924) was a German painter. An alumnus and later professor of Karlsruhe Academy, he is known for his landscapes, portraits, and symbolic works rooted in German regional life and tradition. In his senior years, he served as a member of the Baden State Parliament.
After his death his work was appropriated by nationalist and Nazi ideology, and several of his artworks were looted from Jewish collectors during the Third Reich. Ongoing debates address his political views and alleged antisemitism.
