Awake Goy From Faces of Ancient Europe
Known for his city night-scenes and landscapes, John Atkinson Grimshaw (6 September 1836 – 13 October 1893) was a Victorian artist described by British art historian Christopher Wood as a “remarkable and imaginative painter”. Hailing from Leeds in England, Grimshaw’s first job was as a clerk for Great Northern Railway. Much to the dismay of his parents, he left the job at age 24 to pursue a career as a painter. Today, he is considered one of the most renowned painters of the Victorian era, as well as one of the best and most accomplished nightscape, and townscape, artists of all time.
