"Nocturne: Old Battersea Bridge" is a painting by British artist Walter Greaves (1846–1930), who was a pupil and devoted follower of the prominent painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Greaves, born and raised in the Chelsea district of London, was deeply influenced by Whistler's aesthetic and thematic choices, which is evident in his nocturnal scenes of the Thames and its surrounding architecture.

The painting depicts the old wooden Battersea Bridge spanning the River Thames at night, a subject that was also famously captured by Whistler in his own nocturnes. Greaves's rendition, however, is unique in its perspective and composition. The artwork is characterized by its atmospheric quality and subdued palette, which captures the essence of the Thames under the cloak of darkness. The use of light and shadow, as well as the reflection of the bridge on the water's surface, demonstrates Greaves's skill in creating mood and depth.

"Nocturne: Old Battersea Bridge" is a testament to the influence of Whistler's Tonalism on Greaves, showcasing a harmonious blend of color and a focus on the overall atmospheric effect rather than detailed representation. The painting is a significant work in Greaves's oeuvre, exemplifying his contribution to the late 19th-century British art scene and his dedication to capturing the ephemeral beauty of London's nocturnal landscapes.

As an artist who spent much of his life in the shadow of his mentor, Greaves's works have often been overlooked in the annals of art history. However, "Nocturne: Old Battersea Bridge" stands as an important piece that reflects the interchange of ideas between master and pupil, and it contributes to the understanding of the nocturne genre in British art. The painting is not only a visual record of a historical structure but also an embodiment of the Aesthetic Movement's principles, which emphasized the importance of beauty and artistic expression over the narrative.
