John Thomson is a British Romanticism artist. 28 works are cataloged here, principally at National Galleries Scotland.

John Thomson painted Scottish landscapes in oil, focusing on the rugged terrain around the Trossachs and Selkirkshire. His works like The Trossachs and Glen Altrive, Selkirkshire capture misty glens, rushing rivers, and rocky outcrops with careful realism. A quick sketch like Landscape with a River, a Lake and Mountains shows how he worked outdoors, possibly near Castle Urquhart on Loch Ness. Try Fast Castle next, his dramatic cliffs rising from the sea will hook you.
