Death and the Maiden | Hans Thoma | 1872

Hans Thoma’s Death and the Maiden (1872) places a young woman gathering the petals of a daisy beside the skeletal figure of Death. Her lowered gaze and quiet gesture contrast with the looming scythe, while red flowers and a slender crescent moon enrich the wooded setting. The encounter is presented with an unexpected intimacy: mortality stands close to the ordinary rituals of youth and affection. Thoma’s soft modelling and muted greens give this traditional subject a contemplative, dreamlike character.
