René Thomsen was a French painter of the École de Paris, born in Paris on July 21, 1897, and died in Versailles on July 28, 1976.
René Thomsen was the son of a sculptor and friend of Dr. Paul Gachet, Vincent van Gogh's patron. His divorced mother, who became Henri Barbusse's secretary and later Cécile Sorel's, introduced him to Théophile Steinlen. He was a pupil of Louis Anquetin; a biographical note published in 1932 at an École de Paris exhibition in Dallas, Texas, also lists him as a pupil of Fernand Cormon at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts.

René Thomsen was mobilized during the First World War in 1917, and never stopped drawing and painting Scenes of Soldiers. For a long time, a set of these drawings formed part of the collection of painter and sculptor Fernand Belmonte, who donated them to the Méry-sur-Marne town hall, where they remain today. Another of Thomsen's themes from the same period is that of the Filles de joie. In 1919, a time of great material precariousness when he knew Maurice Loutreuil, Manuel Ortiz de Zarate, Jules Pascin and Amedeo Modigliani, he discovered the Académie Colarossi with Chaïm Soutine and Isaac Dobrinsky. less
