Description: | The building on the right of this scene is Knostrop Hall, a Jacobian mansion just outside Leeds. Atkinson Grimshaw's success as an artist allowed him to rent the Hall from about 1870, and it often appeared in his paintings. Grimshaw was particularly fond of the muted light of misty days, and he painted many autumn scenes. A solitary servant girl in the street in this view adds to the nostalgic, contemplative atmosphere of the scene. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists oil paintings art buildings women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
