{{ titlePrefix }} John Atkinson Grimshaw
John Atkinson Grimshaw (b. 1836 d. 1893) was an English artist of the Victorian era. He is renowned for his nocturnal scenes of urban landscapes. He began exhibiting in 1862 and although his moonlit town views are his most popular works, he also painted landscapes, portraits, interiors, fairy pictures and neo-classical subjects. During his early period he signed "J.A. Grimshaw" but 1867 dropped the John and signed himself Atkinson Grimshaw.
