John Henry Twachtman, August 4, 1853 – August 8, 1902, was an American painter and printmaker associated with American Impressionism and Tonalism. He studied at the Ohio Mechanics Institute, the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and the Académie Julian in Paris.
Twachtman worked closely with J. Alden Weir and Theodore Robinson, and he was one of The Ten American Painters, the group that separated from the Society of American Artists in 1898. He taught at the Art Students League of New York, where his students included Ernest Lawson and Helen Turner.
His paintings are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and other major US collections.
