The Upper Rhine is a partially dug river on the border of the Netherlands and Germany. However, one speaks of Rhine. In Germany, the river is still called Niederrhein, but as soon as it crosses the national border of the Netherlands at Spijk, its name changes to Upper Rhine.
A man stands ashore with a stick or fishing rod and looks at the sun pushing its rays through the clouds. The sunlight reflects romantically on the water of the river.
Hans Thoma (Bernau im Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany 2 October 1839 - Karlsruhe, 7 November 1924) was a German painter. He practiced various styles but was predominantly associated with symbolism. The artist went to the Academy of Visual Arts in Karlsruhe in 1859. From 1870 to 1876 he lived in Munich and after that he settled with his wife Cella in Franfurt. Thoma had a great eye for detail and a preference for precise lines and demarcated colouring. He often opted for allegorical, mythological subjects, with clearly symbolistic tendencies.
