Thoma, Hans
Thoma, Hans (1839–1924). German painter and administrator. Early in his career he specialized in landscapes—mainly scenes from his native Black Forest—and these are now considered his best works. Later he turned to figurative subjects, including Wagnerian themes; these won him an immense reputation in his day, but are now considered rather ponderous. From 1876 to 1899 he lived in Frankfurt, but he was a member of the Munich Sezession. In 1899 he moved to Karlsruhe to become director of the Kunsthalle, which has the largest collection of his work. By this time he was one of the most famous of German artists, and in his later years he was showered with honours. He published two autobiographical books (1909 and 1919).
