The story
Grimshaw painted the moonlit Victorian city better than anyone who ever lived — the damp glisten of the pavement, the moon behind a rack of cloud, the warm windows of the shops, the masts of ships crowding the end of the street. Here a Liverpool quay lies quiet under a full moon: a few late figures, a hoarding of playbills, the whole scene lacquered in silver and amber. He worked almost photographically, sometimes with a camera’s help, but the mood is pure poetry — the particular hush and glamour of a working port after dark. Nocturnes this atmospheric have never gone out of fashion, and never will.
