About this artwork

John Atkinson Grimshaw was a well known artist from the English Victorian era, famous for his nighttime cityscape paintings. His love for authenticity evolved from his fascination with photography. He frequently used tools like a camera obscura or lenses to project the scenes onto the canvas, which helped him achieve perfect perspective. The painting 'Spirit of the Night' is a part of a series where Grimshaw showcased a winged figure. The figure is posed above a night backdrop, with Grimshaw artistically curving her body. Her pale skin provides a striking contrast to the golden glow of her halo.

About the artist

John Atkinson Grimshaw, a distinguished yet underappreciated painter, devoted his life to art in the face of adversity. Beginning his career while employed as a railway clerk, his self-taught journey led to the creation of detailed still lifes, and later a fascination with maritime subjects. Grimshaw's bold artistic experiments, from classical themes to evocative nighttime scenes, garnered him recognition. However, his masterpieces often remained in private collections, limiting his exposure. Despite maintaining a steady style throughout his career, Grimshaw's curiosity led him to try different methods, like integrating photography and textural additives in his works. Despite facing a financial crisis around 1880, Grimshaw continued to push his boundaries in art, exploring social realism, painting over photographs, and even delving into fairy-themed art. A visionary to the end, Grimshaw died at 57, leaving behind a legacy of innovative and unique artwork.
