He was known for his watercolours and copper engravings, which made him world famous. Even today his paintings are still very popular and are wonderful decorations for people interested in art and culture.
Atkinson was born in beautiful London. He was related to James Walker, an artist who worked in St. Petersburg for Catherine the Great. He went to him during his youth to learn from him and study the fine arts. He was soon motivated and encouraged to study by Catherine the Great herself and her son, Paul the First, who recognized his potential at an early age. Atkinson's work at this time was strongly influenced by the great Russian artists who exhibited in the art galleries of St. Petersburg. In addition, the tsar family itself turned to the then young painter to commission large-format paintings depicting key scenes from Russian history. An offer that the British painter accepted with pleasure and thus built up a reputation for himself.
Later, the now experienced painter returned to his motherland England, where he published one of his most famous works, which was still fully influenced by his time in St. Petersburg. It is the work "A Picturesque Representation of the Manners, Customs, and Amusements of the Russians, in 100 plates", a treatise containing illustrations and depictions of Russian life. During his time in England, Atkinson began to make watercolours, which he did admirably. So admirably, in 1808 the Society of Painters in Water Colours decided to admit him and make him a member.
During the Napoleonic Wars, Atkinson was also busy painting intensively and, seen from an artistic point of view, was able to process this artistically. Works of art that had nautical themes as their subject dominated his creative work during this period. He drew numerous battle scenes at this time, above all the Battle of Waterloo. His painter colleague John Burnet, who comes from Scotland, worked on this work of art. Works such as Ships of the Reign of King Edward IV from 1812 and British Sailors Boarding a Man of War from 1815 are today on display at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and the National Maritime Museum in London and continue to enjoy great popularity. They provide an insight into historic moments in Great Britain, which are always closely linked to seafaring. Atkinson enjoyed great success as a visual artist and also exhibited at the Royal Academy Exhibition, the last time in 1829.
