Considered one of America's most important 19th-century landscape painters, Thomas Hill is loosely affiliated with the Hudson River School. As a child, Hill emigrated in 1844 with his family from England to Massachusetts. Hill later studied art in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy and eventually settled in San Francisco, California. He is most well known for western vistas and monumental landscape paintings of National Parks such as Yellowstone and Yosemite.
