John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836 – 1893) was a painter from Britain during the Victorian era. He is most well known for his nocturne paintings of cityscapes and landscapes. Although landscapes were his preferred subject, Grimshaw also painted portraits and mythological scenes with fairies. Most of his paintings were private commissions so his work was rarely seen in larger galleries. Grimshaw was very successful during his life and was able to work as a full time painter.
