John Atkinson Grimshaw - View of Southwark Bridge at Night

Although his early work was strongly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite technique of his fellow Leeds artist, J. W. Inchbold, Grimshaw later painted in a less meticulous and more atmospheric manner. During the 1880s, he painted a series of views of the Thames, many showing the river by moonlight in a manner not unlike the nocturnes of Grimshaw’s neighbour in Chelsea, J. A. McN. Whistler.
