John Atkinson Grimshaw 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.”
John Atkinson Grimshaw was born Leeds, England.
In 1856, he married his Cousin, Frances Hubbard (1835–1917) and, in 1861, at the age of twenty-four, to the dismay
of his parents, he left his job as a Clerk for the
Great Northern Railway to become a painter.
He first exhibited in 1862, mostly paintings of birds,
fruit and blossom, under the patronage of The
Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society.
He became successful in the 1870s and rented a home
in Scarborough, which became a subject of his paintings.
Several of his children, Arthur E. Grimshaw (1864–1913), Louis H. Grimshaw (1870–1944), Wilfred Grimshaw (1871–1937) and Elaine Grimshaw (1877–1970) became painters.
