John Atkinson Grimshaw: A collection of 173 paintings (HD)

[@moonlightray8493]

I simply adore the way that Grimshaw depicts light; it gives off such a mysterious yet alluring glow, especially when peeking out through a veil of clouds. For such a realistic style, his artwork is so enthralling and immersive as well... it's as if you could take a few steps forward, and you'd find yourself there amidst the depicted scenery!

[@MS-sv1tr]

There's no one quite like him. For such realistic paintings to have such a dream-like atmosphere is really unique.

[@art_without_borders]

He used lenses and a photo-camera to project the images onto canvas before he started the painting. The same technique that Vermeer used.

[@kevinfarley6003]

I just recently discovered this artist and he may be my favorite of all time.

[@timnickoll]

me too

[@tikitavi7120]

That sepia amber tone is mind blowing. I love all of these paintings. Genius!

[@clearlake3492]

At last - a Victorian painter who I HAVE heard of and have long admired.

[@dogan-life]

Thank you for your work! I was able to familiarise myself with many works of the great Grimshaw! Amazing landscapes in the moonlight, almost without light, you could say! Thanks again! These paintings inspire me!

[@dapha1623]

my favorite thing about his paintings is that, the color that is being used is so different than what the world looks like, yet it looks so similar and familiar, whenever i see his paintings i feel like i am in an another planet who's orbiting a different sky and has a different moon, but with the same ol' society that we have

[@ילנהקירוב]

Это изумительный художник! Просто волшебно передает любую погоду - особенно влажность; туман; блеск мокрых тротуаров ; вязкость грязи и конечно теплый свет человеческого жилья , согревающий все это.

[@markahearn1]

Incredible detail without looking over worked. What an artistic soul!

[@robhead22]

Oooh! What a great artist!! Thank you!

Shockingly beautiful...

[@stargazerverse]

John Atkinson Grimshaw is my favorite romanticist artist and paints such mysterious painting with rich colors illuminated in the sky

[@adamasagitprop]

He really captures that autumnal mood. Fascinating and beautiful, November 1879 for example. It's almost a trip back to that exact place and moment.

Hello , qual a pintura outonal que você diz , ela está aonde no vídeo?

[@wichitazen]

I love his work.

[@franciscohipola8903]

Bonitas pinturas + bonita música = vídeo sublime. Gracias por compartir!!!

[@nevillechamberlain9394]

Muted light, often a moonlit or gaslit hibernal scene, obsessed JAG: indeed, it _was_ the subject, really, subordinating the people in his street paintings. He successfully captured the enveloping, crepuscular melancholy of hibernal northern Britain. Some gainsayers don't acknowledge his achievement, though he'd have been his own harshest critic-his oeuvre, seen chronologically, reveals him striving, in a life sadly truncated by TB, to perfect a personal style and palette. It's a legacy that still appeals enormously to many today.

The Autumn paintings are out of this world

[@grumpysorc3744]

Cityscapes which are painted in muted colors are the best. Especially with these ships and moonlight.

[@kimquinn7728]

These are so beautiful! His painting Nightfall on the Thames is my favorite. It was used as cover art for Dickens Our Mutual Friend audio book and I searched for ages to find out who the artist is. I want even a giclee print...it fits the story to perfection. Thank you for this wonderful video. The evening scenes of fall/winter roadways, the warmth of light seeping out from gates and behind stone walls....😍. Love, love, love. Would anyone know the title of the painting at 14:01?

[@Fitness4London]

Agreed! You might also like the paintings of William Wiehe Collins, such as St Paul's from Ludgate Hill, used as the front cover of Bleak House by Charles Dickens (Wordsworth Classics).

J A Grimshaw was a master of light - Whistler praised him generously. The effects of light were almost an obsession - you will note that he paints the same scene time and again in different lights. The darker subjects filled with warm colours are often a far better quality than the lighter ones - there is one, "Evening Scene by Hull Docks", not among those shown that has far too much light and lacks detail and care in execution - it is quite poor. His still-lifes were technically brilliant, not only for their detail but also for the light. Although they may have appealed to his Victorian customers they were not immensely popular as it was a style that was fading. His forays into portraiture were not particularly successful - his figures, now seen in good lighting conditions always have something stiff and unnatural about them - a few are saved by the way he has managed to capture the light falling on them, but my advice would have been "Keep to what you do best" and fortunately, he did. He also does a couple of pictures in which a "floating fairy" is occupying the central foreground of a landscape and these look for all the world as if he had made a mess of the central painting and decided to cut his losses and stick something over it. Then there a couple of "body in the boat" paintings - all these are simply Grimshaw feeling he should more closely follow the Pre-Raphelites - a mistake! He was better than that and had his own style. This all leads to the conclusion that "he was not very good at painting people" - all his great works are the masterpieces of light and shade, and the characters in them are mainly distant silhouettes - almost in the manner of Lowry - that nevertheless suggest actions and/or motives and add to the realism through the observational nature of the paintings, There is the occasional rear or side view at a distance of a person in daylight, but this is relatively rare and even rarer where there is some facial detail. If you want a picture to stare at and never bore of it - buy an Atkinson Grimshaw but buy a night or dusk scene and ignore the others.

[@johncraske]

GGMTV I agree with everything you wrote about Atkinson Grimshaw. I would also take your advice to buy a night or dusk scene, but for one slight problem - you now need a ton of money to acquire such a painting. So I'll have to stick to viewing them in a gallery or on KZbin.

@@johncraske And what is SO inferior , with owning High Quality Gicl'ee Prints these days? I have a large format Book ,of J.A.G's most popular paintings, Not cheap, but afordable. Also, GGMC, In J.G.A's era, Wasn't it the norm, when having your photographic portrait taken, not to smile, or in fact, show any emotions? Surely the same applied with Art portraiture? ''It all leads to the conclusion--- you say'' does it? YOUR conclusion, perhaps.

[@kimquinn7728]

@@MrDaiseymay He painted both The Lady of Shallot from Tennyson and not sure who the other was. Perhaps Ophelia? I thought L of S was sweet and made me think of Anne of Green Gables...which led to Megan Follows....which led to film clips and another two hours of lost sleep....oh, well.🙂

John Atkinson Grimshaw (6 septembre 1836 - 13 octobre 1893) est un peintre de l’époque victorienne, remarquable et imaginatif1, surtout connu pour ses paysages bucoliques et urbains2,3. Ses premières peintures ont été signées JAG, J. A. Grimshaw ou encore John Atkinson Grimshaw, mais il a finalement choisi Atkinson Grimshaw. Biographie John Atkinson Grimshaw est né le 6 septembre 1836 dans la ville de Leeds, dans le Yorkshire de l’Ouest en Angleterre. Il se marie en 1856 avec une cousine éloignée, Frances Hubbard (1835-1917). En 1861, au grand dam de ses parents, il abandonne son emploi au Great Northern Railway, pour commencer une carrière artistique. Il commence à exposer en 1862, aidé par la Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, présentant des peintures où figurent principalement des oiseaux, des fruits et des fleurs4. Grimshaw est tout d’abord influencé par les peintres préraphaélites. Fidèle à leur style, il représente les couleurs et les éclairages avec force détails. Par la suite, il peint des paysages saisonniers, ou sous un temps particulier. Il obtient du succès dans les années 1870 et achète une résidence secondaire à Scarborough, dans le Yorkshire du Nord, qui devient l’un de ses sujets favoris ; il peint à cette période plus de scènes d’intérieur, sous l’influence de James Tissot et de l’esthétisme5. Dans ses travaux suivants, il imagine des scènes des époques grecque et romaine ; il peint aussi des sujets littéraires de Henry Longfellow et Alfred TennysonNote parmi lesquels Elaine (1877) et The Lady of Shalott (1878)6. Dans les années 1880, Grimshaw représente principalement des scènes urbaines au clair de lune, sur les docks de Londres, Leeds, Liverpool ou Glasgow. Il conserve à cette fin un studio à ChelseaNote. Ses peintures dépeignent le monde victorien, tout en évitant de représenter la réalité assez triste des villes industrielles. Shipping on the Clyde, représente ainsi les docks de Glasgow, évocation lyrique des industries ; Grimshaw y retranscrit la brume et le brouillard, avec beaucoup de précision. On Hampstead Hill, de 1881, est considéré comme l’une des œuvres les plus réussies de Grimshaw, capturant l’ambiance d’un crépuscule, avec une variété de sources de lumière. Dans la suite de sa carrière, ce type de crépuscule, avec une scène urbaine sous une lumière jaune, a été assez populaire, particulièrement chez les patrons de la classe moyenne4. Grimshaw est mort le 13 octobre 1893, et a été enterré au cimetière de Woodhouse, un quartier résidentiel de Leeds. Il est resté connu pour ses paysages urbains ; n’ayant pas laissé de lettres, coupures de presse ou notes, il reste difficile de connaître sa pensée. Il y a eu un regain d’intérêt pour ses œuvres dans la seconde moitié du xxe siècle.

Grimshaw used a camera obscura and sometimes even painted over photographs.

thank you! Im a photographer; it was the first thing I thought looking at his work.

[@gevanpoold7852]

Certes, les lumières et ambiances des soirs d'automne et d'hiver sont réussies, inquiétantes mystérieuses, romantiques et tout ce qu'on veut. Au début, on trouve ça vraiment bien. Mais quand même, au bout d'un moment, on se demande si on n'est pas revenu en arrière, on a une forte impression de déjà-vu. Ça fait "travail à la chaine" sur les quelques même scènes ,en changeant un peu la lumière, en recadrant, en changeant les couleurs: la démarche semble plutôt commerciale que vraiment artistique et créative.

[@Henry-o7u4m]

Pode me explicar porque você diz que a pintura tem abordagem comercial e não artística. Tank's.
