About the Artwork
Often considered the sister piece to his legendary *The Jack Pine*, *Northern River* represents Tom Thomson at the absolute height of his creative powers. Thomson affectionately referred to this composition as his **"swamp picture."** It demonstrates his brilliant transition from a commercial designer into a pioneer of Canadian modernism, utilizing a tight foreground screen of dark, slender trees to filter a vivid, sunset-lit Algonquin Park river. The original canvas resides permanently in the National Gallery of Canada.
