Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COLLINS, WILLIAM (17871847) ,
English
  painter, son of an Irish picture dealer and man of letters, the author of a
Life
  of George Morland, was born in London. He studied under Etty in 1807, and in 1809 exhibited his first pictures of repute" Boys at Breakfast," and " Boys with a Bird's
Nest
 ." In 1815 he was made associate of the Royal
Academy
 , and was elected R. A. in 1820. For the next sixteen years he was a constant exhibitor; his fishermen, shrimp-catchers, boats and nets, stretches of
coast
  and sand, and, above all, his rustic children were universally popular. Then, however, he went abroad on the advice of
Wilkie
 , and for two years (18371838) studied the
life
 , manners and scenery of Italy. In 1839 he exhibited the first fruits of this journey; and in 1840, in which year he was appointed librarian to the
Academy
 , he made his first
appearance
  as a painter of history. In 1842 he returned to his early manner and choice of subject, and during the last years of life enjoyed greater popularity than ever. Collins was a good colourist and an excellent draughtsman. His earlier pictures are deficient in breadth and force, but his later
work
 , though also carefully executed, is
rich
  in effects of tone and in broadly painted masses. His
biography
  by his son, W.
Wilkie
  Collins, the novelist, appeared in 1848.
