Shipping on the Clyde
Shipping on the Clyde is an 1881 landscape painting by the British artist John Atkinson Grimshaw. It features a street scene by the River Clyde in Glasgow illuminated by moonlight. Some lighting comes from the shop windows and a small fire at which two dockworkers are warming themselves. Atkinson Grimshaw was known for nocturnal views of the industrial port cities of the Victorian era and this is a variation on the model. Today the painting is in the collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.
