Thomas Hudson (1701–1779) was a prominent English portrait painter of the 18th century, renowned for his refined and elegant depictions of the British aristocracy and gentry. Born in Devon, Hudson trained under the influential portraitist Jonathan Richardson, whose style and techniques significantly shaped his artistic development. Hudson's career flourished during the mid-18th century, a period often referred to as the "Golden Age of English Portraiture," where he became one of the most sought-after portraitists in London.

Hudson's oeuvre is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, sophisticated use of color, and the ability to capture the personality and status of his sitters. His portraits often feature sitters in fashionable attire, set against grandiose and opulent backgrounds, reflecting the wealth and social standing of his clientele. Among his notable works are portraits of prominent figures such as King George II, the Duke of Marlborough, and the philosopher John Locke.

In addition to his own artistic achievements, Hudson played a crucial role in the development of British art through his mentorship of several significant artists, most notably Joshua Reynolds, who would go on to become one of the leading figures in British art history. Hudson's influence extended beyond his immediate circle, contributing to the broader evolution of portrait painting in England.

Despite his success, Hudson's reputation experienced a decline towards the end of his life and after his death, as tastes in portraiture evolved and new artistic movements emerged. However, his contributions to the art of portraiture have been reassessed in recent years, and he is now recognized as a key figure in the history of English art. Hudson's works are held in major collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Tate Gallery, ensuring his legacy endures.
