| Oil on Canvas - 1887 |
"John Atkinson Grimshaw (6 September 1836 – 13 October 1893) was a Victorian-era artist, a "remarkable and imaginative painter" known for his city night-scenes and landscapes.
His early paintings were signed "JAG," "J. A. Grimshaw," or "John Atkinson Grimshaw," though he finally settled on "Atkinson Grimshaw."" - Wiki
What I like about the piece is how completely drab and monotone it seems, but the lights in the buildings to the right just pierce through the grey. It completely changes the feel of the piece, heightening the impression of the cold, miserable outside juxtaposed with the warmth of the inside of the buildings.
