The Thames by Moonlight with Southwark Bridge is an 1884 landscape painting by the British artist John Atkinson Grimshaw.[1][2][3] It features a riverscape view of the River Thames by moonlight looking westwards towards Southwark Bridge with St Paul's Cathedral silhouetted on the skyline. While Grimshaw had attracted attention by producing street scenes of the port cities of Northern England, he moved to London to produce a variety of works.[4]
The painting is now in the collection of the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London, having been acquired from Sotheby's in 1967.[5]
