John Henderson Grieve

John Henderson Grieve is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Henderson Grieve painted small, precise watercolours in the early 1800s. His June 1815 drawing shows a canal bridge near Bath, likely in the family’s viewbook style. These modest scenes capture quiet corners of Georgian England—bridge, towpath, river—with careful detail but no extra flourish. Tap into the Grieve family’s 1815 sketchbook for the full set of canal views from that summer.
