Patrick Nasmyth was the son and pupil of Alexander Nasmyth. He was harshly treated by life as a young man.
These misfortunes may have made him all the more attached to his art, and he lost all interest in any studies not connected with it. At the age of twenty, he went to London, where his talent quickly won him fame. He was nicknamed the 'English Hobema'. He exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy and was one of the founders of the Society of British Artists.
