Tom Thompson

Tom Thomson was a Canadian artist born in 1877, renowned for his vibrant landscape paintings of the Canadian wilderness, especially around Algonquin Park. His work significantly influenced Canadian art and is considered a cornerstone of the Group of Seven, a collective dedicated to capturing Canada's natural beauty. Thomson's style combines bold colors with expressive brushwork, bringing life to forests, lakes, and skies. His career was cut short when he died mysteriously in 1917 at age 39, but his impactful paintings continue to celebrate Canada's natural heritage and inspire artists today.
