Francis Hans Johnston (also known as Frank H. Johnston and as Franz Johnston) (June 19, 1888  July 9, 1949) was a member of the Group of Seven. He most commonly worked as a landscape painter though in a more conservative mode than other members of the Group. He also used tempera rather than oil paint in his Algoma landscapes, a fast-drying material that was more often associated with commercial art of his day.
