Autumn Glory 1887

"Autumn Glory" (1887) by John Atkinson Grimshaw depicts a quiet street scene bathed in the soft, golden light of an autumn evening. The artist was known for his atmospheric scenes, often capturing the beauty of twilight. The bare branches of trees line the street, their silhouettes casting long shadows on the ground. The muted palette and the use of light and shadow create a sense of tranquility and solitude. The two figures walking in the distance add a touch of human scale to the scene. Grimshaw’s work is characterized by a strong focus on light, shadow, and atmosphere.
