Jerome B Thompson - The Belated Party on Mansfield Mountain [1858]


Jerome Thompson (Middleboro, Massachusetts, 1814 - Glen Gardner, New Jersey, 1886) became a painter of luminous landscapes, often allegorical with rural figures in the foreground. His father was Cephas Thompson, distinguished portrait painter, who refused to give Jerome art lessons and even destroyed his early paintings because he wanted him to be a farmer.
