The German artist Josef Thoma’s sometimes uplifting, sometimes somber landscapes felt the influence of the Romantics, the Dusseldorf School, and even the heroism of Carstens. Alpine majesty is rendered with consummate technique here in Thoma’s “Hunter near Berchtesgaden”, a patriotic and emotional ode in oils to the ancient forests and rivers of the Bavarian heartland.
