"Natural Bridge, Virginia" is an oil on canvas painting by the American artist David Johnson (1827–1908), who was associated with the second generation of the Hudson River School. Created in 1860, the painting depicts the Natural Bridge, a geological formation in Rockbridge County, Virginia, which is a natural arch with a span of 90 feet and towering height of 215 feet. The Natural Bridge was a celebrated natural wonder and a popular subject for artists during the 19th century, symbolizing the grandeur and beauty of the American landscape.

In Johnson's rendition, the Natural Bridge is portrayed with meticulous attention to detail and a high degree of naturalism, characteristics that are typical of his work. The painting captures the interplay of light and shadow on the rock formation, as well as the surrounding vegetation, creating a sense of depth and realism. Johnson's use of color and light reflects the influence of the Hudson River School, emphasizing the sublime aspects of the landscape.

The artwork is notable for its representation of the American wilderness at a time when the nation was rapidly expanding and industrializing, making such landscapes subjects of both nostalgia and national pride. "Natural Bridge, Virginia" serves as an example of the 19th-century American landscape tradition, where artists sought to document and celebrate the unique natural features of the North American continent.

David Johnson's "Natural Bridge, Virginia" is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the understanding of American art history and the cultural significance of natural landmarks in the United States. The painting is not only a testament to Johnson's skill as an artist but also to the enduring legacy of the Hudson River School and its role in shaping American identity through landscape painting.
