    This work was finished in 1882, and is a work of the romantic art movement in Europe. This means there are no definable figures (like Jesus or Napoleon), instead it focuses on emotion or an emotion the artist wants to portray.

    This was most likely created by projecting an image onto a canvas and painting on top of it, as was a common creation method for Grimshaw.

    Leeds is a city in the longitudinal middle of Britain, Northeast of Liverpool. Park row is a main thouroughfare there, at the time it was mostly businesses.

    While you’re looking at this work, what emotions are you feeling? What do you think the artist was trying to portray? Do you think your interpretation agrees with his?
