"Whitby Harbour by Moonlight" is a painting by the prominent British artist John Atkinson Grimshaw, known for his skillful use of light and shadow to evoke mood and atmosphere. Created in 1880, this work is a quintessential example of Grimshaw's preoccupation with nocturnal scenes and his adeptness at capturing the interplay of natural and artificial light. The painting depicts the historic port of Whitby in North Yorkshire, England, under the enchanting glow of the moonlight, reflecting Grimshaw's fascination with maritime subjects and the Victorian-era industrial landscape.

The composition of "Whitby Harbour by Moonlight" is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of a limited but effective color palette, which conveys the serene and somewhat mystical quality of the harbor at night. Grimshaw's technique involves the application of layers of thinly diluted paint, which creates a luminous effect and enhances the realism of the reflective water surfaces and the textures of the architecture.

Measuring 30 x 45 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Grimshaw to achieve the fine gradations of light and shade that are the hallmark of his style. "Whitby Harbour by Moonlight" is a testament to Grimshaw's mastery of the Victorian nocturne and his unique ability to imbue landscapes with a sense of tranquility and poetic melancholy. The work is held in a private collection and continues to be admired for its technical prowess and its evocative portrayal of the Victorian era's industrialized environment in harmony with the natural world.
