St Paul's Cathedral from Ludgate Circus, London c 1885

John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836 - 1893) was a Victorian-era painter, notable for his landscapes.

In 1861, at the age of 24, to the dismay of his parents, he departed from his first job as a clerk for the Great Northern Railway to pursue a career in art. He began exhibiting in 1862, under the patronage of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society.
