미국 허드슨강 학파 화가로 특히 미 서부 풍경을 주로 그린 화가이다. 영국 버밍험에서 태어나 캘리포니아 레이먼드에서 죽은 그는 미국 산 풍경 그림이 유명하다 1853년 펜실바니아 아카데미 미술학교에서 초상화와 정물화 그리는 공부를 하였다. 1854년 여름 뉴햄프셔의 화이트 마운틴을 방문하고 그곳에서 미국 풍경을 낭만적으로 묘사한 것으로 알려진 19세기 미국 화가그룹인 허드슨강 화파 화가들을 만났다. 그후 1866년과 67년 정물화 공부를 계속하려고 파리로 갔는데 그곳에서 풍경화에 대한 재질을 인정 받고 풍경화에 더욱 정진할 것을 권유받았다. 1867년 미국에 귀국하여 허드슨강 화파 대표자가 되었다.

He was an avid painter of mountain landscapes, from the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. His landscapes reflect a deep understanding of nature through his precise, accurate, and rapidly executed compositions. In 1870, Hill settled in California, spending the winters in San Francisco and the summers in Yosemite Valley. Hill is often referred to as the “Artist of Yosemite”. He was extremely active in the local art community and assisted with the development of the California School of Design. Hill later moved his studio from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park. His most celebrated painting, The Driving of the Last Spike (1881), is a large image commemorating the completion of the Central-Pacific Railroad at Ogden, Utah in 1869.

? The name of the painter Thomas Hill has long been linked with that of Yosemite Valley, California, his most frequent subject. When the artist was seventy, an art critic called him "The most ardent devotee at the shrine of Yosemite and the most faithful priest of the valley. His enormous Yosemite panoramas were purchased by many of the social and business leaders of San Francisco, and one of his landscapes won a bronze medal at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Born in England, Hill moved to Massachusetts with his family in 1844. He lived in Boston, Philadelphia, and Cambridge before moving to San Francisco in 1861.

Hill first visited Yosemite Valley in 1862, a fact recently confirmed by the diary of a nineteenth-century touriSt. Following a visit to Europe in 1867 and a stay in Boston from 1868 to 1872, Hill made the San Francisco bay area his home, actively participating in the early artistic circles of the city and traveling frequently to Yosemite. In 1883, he established his first summer studio at Yosemite, and in 1886 he moved to Wawona, fifteen miles southwest of the valley, where he maintained a studio and residence the rest of his life.
