Synopsis
As one of the great painters of the Victorian era, Atkinson Grimshaw created some of its most beautiful and atmospheric paintings. In rain and mist, moonlight and gaslight, the River Thames, city streets, winding lanes and grimy docks all appear as if clothed in poetry and mystery. Discover the unique vision of the ‘master of moonlight’ – an artist who time and time again transformed the humdrum of everyday Victorian life into a magical ‘Grimshaw’.
