About the piece
Painted in 1874, John Atkinson Grimshaw’s 'Whitby Harbor' exemplifies his mastery of atmospheric light. The scene captures the coastal town of Whitby at night, with the moon casting a shimmering reflection across the water and illuminating the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey on the cliffside.
