In 1995, Thomas Kinkade painted one of his most iconic depictions of San Francisco. Thom stood on the Marin Headlands, near the Golden Gate Bridge, looking south across the Bay towards the City of San Francisco. From this stunning vantage point, he created the sketches for the painting that would become Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco. In tribute to our founder and one of the world’s most beloved bridges, Thomas Kinkade Studios has painted it from a new perspective in Sunset on Golden Gate Bridge . This breathtaking scene captures the landmark from a beach with a northern view, as Sandpipers dance in the Pacific surf and adorable Sea Lions sunbathe on the rocks in the setting sun. As the sun begins to set, passengers on sailboats enjoy the exquisite view.
