John Atkinson

John Atkinson is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Atkinson filled small sheets with busy scenes. In Cart and Team at a Gravel Pit he shows labourers and horses against mounds of earth, all rendered in fine watercolour strokes. The Image-Seller, dated around 1780–1818, captures a street peddler holding up prints for passers-by, a slice of London commerce caught in flickering colour. Tap The Image-Seller to step closer to this quiet slice of eighteenth-century daily life.
