John Atkinson Grimshaw was a Victorian era artist, a remarkable and imaginative painter known for his city night-scenes and landscapes. Grimshaws paintings depicted the contemporary world but eschewed the dirty and depressing aspects of industrial towns. He painted landscapes that typified seasons or a type of weather city and suburban street scenes and moonlit views of the docks in London, Leeds, Liverpool, and Glasgow also figured largely in his art. His careful painting and 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. Grimshaw maintained a London studio in Chelsea, not far from the studio of James Abbott McNeill Whistler. After visiting Grimshaw, Whistler remarked that I considered myself the inventor of Nocturnes until I saw Grimmy's moonlit pictures. Grimshaw worked in a realistic vein; sharply focused, almost photographic, his pictures innovated in applying the tradition of rural moonlight images to the Victorian city, recording the rain and mist, the puddles and smoky fog of late Victorian industrial England.
