Thomas Smith (died 12 September 1767), also known as Thomas Smith of Derby, was a
landscapepainter and father of
John Raphael Smith and miniaturist painter Thomas Corregio Smith.[1][2] Smith painted many landscapes including historic houses like
Chatsworth and views of the
Lake District.
Smith's 1751 painting "An Extensive Landscape with Hunting Party" was sold for over $67,000 at an auction at Sotheby's. He painted the picture in 1751, a year before his son was born and sixteen years before his death.[4]
