Born in Middleboro, Massachusetts, Jerome Thompson started out life painting portraits and in 1834 he opened his own portrait studio in New York City. In the 1850's, however, Thompson exhibited a landscape painting and demand for this genre led to the closing of his portrait studio. He studied in England for a time and upon his return lived on Long Island & New Jersey. Thompson continued painting genre scenes using subjects from the New England area.
