John Atkinson Grimshaw | Victorian-era painter
English Victorian-era painter John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893), considered one of the most renowned painters of the Victorian era, as well as one of the best and most accomplished nightscape and townscape, artists of all time.
Grimshaw's primary influence was the Pre-Raphaelites. True to the Pre-Raphaelite style, he created landscapes of accurate colour and lighting, vivid detail and realism, often typifying seasons or a type of weather.
Moonlit views of city and suburban streets and of the docks in London, Hull, Liverpool, and Glasgow also figured largely in his art. His careful painting and his skill in lighting effects meant that he captured both the appearance and the mood of a scene in minute detail. His "paintings of dampened gas-lit streets and misty waterfronts conveyed an eerie warmth as well as alienation in the urban scene".
