John Henry Hill was a distinguished landscape painter of the American Pre-Raphaelite tradition. From a family of artists, he followed his father, John William Hill in his passion as a watercolorist. The elder Hill, himself the son of the English engraver John Hill, was among the founders of the American Watercolor Society.
A life-long resident (1839-1922) of West Nyack, New York, John Henry Hill was
influenced by John Ruskin and David Johnson in their realistic examinations of nature. Using a brushwork technique that called for small and drier brushstrokes, he created the differing textures of trees, water and rocks in nature. John Henry painted primarily in the geography and time frame defined by the White Mountain and Hudson River Schools.
Typical subject matter included lakes and mountains in New Hampshire and New York, although Hill painted on both coasts. William Trost Richards, John La Farge and Samuel Colman were friends and contemporaries.
In 1868, John Henry Hill made a trip to the West as part of the Clarence King survey expedition, and on this trip he did sketches of Idaho, Nevada, Yosemite, and northern California. After about two years, he returned to New York where he had a studio on an island in Lake George. There he developed his western sketches into large oils.
His diary and many of his paintings are in the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, New York.
