Johnson was a pupil of the British artist William James Müller and accompanied him on his trip to Lycia in Turkey, with the archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows, in 1843. He settled in London on his return and accompanied David Cox on various sketching tours to North Wales. He also travelled extensively in Greece, Italy, France and North Africa.

This is view of the Parthenon from Faliro (Phalerum in ancient Greece) which is part of Piraeus. Faliro is by the sea five miles south-west of the city centre.
