Did you know that…?
James Collier was a prolific artist, leaving behind a collection of over 1100 works of art, of which the Royal Academy alone gave him 140 works.
He distinguished himself as a portrait painter and, although he also painted women, he specialised in male portraits, for which he could capture the depth of detail much better
Although literary themes, such as Sleeping Beauty, were considered old-fashioned after 1890, John Collier continued to paint such spectacular images.
Among the personalities of the time that John Collier painted were Charles Darwin, George Bernard Shaw and Rudyard Kipling.
