By the time of the Civil War, Thompson was an artist for the Illustrated London News and Harper's Weekly, interested in events in Virginia. But his interest was apparently not very strong, for, in 1861, he went to Paris to study art, eventually at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1864, exhibiting at the Salon of 1865.Returning to New York City in 1868, he exhibited at the National Academy of Design in that year, becoming an Associate in 1875. His realistic, brightly colored "Ruins of the Palace of St. Cloud in the Winter of 1871", he was able to gift to the Academy upon becoming a member, and it became well known throughout the country. The National Academy was a successful sales outlet for Thompson. Over the years, he sold 125 paintings there, though in 1878, he also joined the Society of American Artists, newly formed in opposition to the Academy's overly academic ways.Thompson, known for his subjects taken from the revolutionary period in America, also sketched and painted out-of-doors during eighteen years of travels to exotic locales like Asia Minor, Morocco and Spain.He lived in Summit, New Jersey for twelve years, dying there in 1896. The paintings of Alfred Wordsworth Thompson may be seen in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; New York Historical Society and Union League Club in New York City.
