Victorian art in the 'Square Mile'


There's a major new exhibition at the Guildhall Art Gallery, EC2 from next week until the New Year. John Atkinson Grimshaw’s paintings of moonlit suburban lanes, gas-lit streets and docksides will feature in John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893): Painter of Moonlight from Monday 19 September to Sunday 5 January. The exhibition – the first of its kind for over 30 years - will bring together more than 50 major works by the self-taught artist, including many which have not been seen in public for decades and which have been lent by private collectors. Tickets cost £5, which sounds like good value to me!
