About the piece

Painted in 1880, John Atkinson Grimshaw's 'Reflections on the Thames, Westminster' is a quintessential example of his celebrated Victorian nocturnes. The work contrasts the quiet industrial presence of river traffic with the grand Gothic silhouette of the Houses of Parliament, all bathed in the characteristic yellow glow of moon- and gaslight reflected in the water.
