Even axisbelow(True) sets the grid zorder to 0.5, which is still over images (zorder 0). One may want to have grids *below* images if the image's extent doesn't cover the whole axes limits (e.g. the image only occupies the top left corner of the Axes and one wants to draw gridlines on the rest but keep them below the image otherwise).
