Artist
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.
