John Atkinson Grimshaw
John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) was an English Victorian painter best known for his cityscapes that convey fog and twilight. He painted landscapes, worked out to the smallest detail, with careful choice of lighting and color. Often he painted landscapes typical for a particular time of the year or for certain weather conditions. The views of the streets and suburbs are very typical for him, as well as the lunar landscapes of the docks in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Glasgow. In later works, he depicted genre scenes from the life of English society.
