Description
John Atkinson Grimshaw was born 6 September 1836 in Leeds. In 1856 he married his cousin Frances Hubbard (1835 - 1917). In 1861, at the age of 24, to the dismay of his parents, he left his job as a clerk for the Great Northern Railway to become a painter. He first exhibited in 1862, mostly paintings of birds, fruit and blossom, under the patronage of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society.[4] He became successful in the 1870s and rented a second home in Scarborough, which became a favourite subject.
Several of his children, Arthur E. Grimshaw (1864 - 1913), Louis H. Grimshaw (1870 - 1944), Wilfred Grimshaw (1871 - 1937) and Elaine Grimshaw (1877 - 1970) became painters.
