Joseph Thors

Flourished 1863 – 1900

Landscape painter who lived in London but also worked in the Midlands where he is regarded as a member of the Birmingham School.

He exhibited mostly at the Suffolk Street Gallery and the Royal Academy from 1863 – 1878 and also at the British Institution.

His landscapes are usually rustic scenes with cottages, figures and animals in a style ultimately derived from the Norwich School. Naturalistic landscape painting was the fundamental aim of both the Norwich and Birmingham Schools. Thors was quite prodigious in his output.

Thors was a draughtsman of peaceful little spots of nature, with their little hidden homesteads and winding paths, which he represents, in a refined and contemplative mood.

He also exhibited at Birmingham during the period 1869 – 1900
