About William Collins (painter)

  • William Collins (8 September 1788 in London – 17 February 1847 in London) was an English landscape and genre painter.
  • His sentimental paintings of poor people enjoying nature became a posthumous high fashion, notably in the 1870s when his market price rose higher than Constable (Cromer Sands, £3780, 1872) and stayed so until 1894.
  • Turner, his model, far exceeded him in value (The Grand Canal, Venice, sold to Vanderbilt in 1885 for £20,000).
