Reflection on the Thames d.1880 by John Atkinson Grimshaw.

📍Leeds Art Gallery

John Atkinson Grimshaw was an English Victorian-era painter who was predominantly known for painting urban landscapes at night. Grimshaw was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, evident in his use of accurate colour, lighting, detail and realism.

The painting is typical of Grimshaw's work. A moonlit view along with multiple sources of light; gaslight on Westminster Bridge, the face of Big Ben and the electric street lights along Victoria Embankment all help capture the appearance of the scene and the mood in minute detail. This conveys a sense of alienation and eerie warmth omnipresent in an urban setting.

Victoria Embankment provides a safe vantage point to gaze across the river. The Houses of Parliament sits in the background of the Embankment, with Westminster Bridge adjacent to the Houses. Multiple figures are depicted walking across the Embankment, while a lone woman leans against it in the foreground. A dog stands beside her, focused on the passers by.

Her face is turned away, unable to read her expression, perhaps gazing at the bright moon which gives life to the painting. She is distinguished from the passers by, her pause gives us pause to see the beauty of Victorian London in a moment of stillness. The woman is surrounded by the life and the light of the busy city, juxtaposed with presence and a becalmed figure in the heart of an Empire's industrious heart.

Starry Night Over the Rhône d.1888 by Vincent van Gogh.

📍Museè d'Orsay, Paris.

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter. In the span of a decade he created over 2000 artworks, most of which date from the final two years of his life. His works included landscapes, still life, self-portraits and portraits. In 1886, he moved to Paris where he met the avant-garde, and his paintings grew brighter during his stay in France. Van Gogh was not commercially successful during his lifetime, and suffered from severe depression and poverty. Van Gogh shot himself in the chest and died two days later. Today, his works are some of the most expensive paintings ever sold.

Post-Impressionism is a predominantly French art movement in the late 19th and early 20th century. It emerged as a reaction to Impressionists' concerns for the naturalistic depiction for light and colour. Post-Impressionists extend Impressionism whilst rejecting its limitations. They continued to use vivid colours, thick paint application and real life subject matter. An important aspect of Post-Impressionism is not what the viewer sees on the canvas but what the artists intent was. It aimed to bring out personal introspection, memories, fantasies or dreams to evoke emotions in the viewer.

The painting is one of van Gogh's paintings of Arles at night. It was painted on the banks of the Rhône a short walk from the Yellow House, which he was renting at the time. The challenge of painting at night intrigued van Gogh and the vantage point allowed him to capture the reflections of the gas lighting across the glimmering water. In the foreground, two lovers stroll by the river bank and in the background houses dotted along the banks radiate a light that reflects in the water. The stars glow with a luminescence, shining from the dark, blue and velvety night sky.
