WILLIAM (1787–1847) , See also:English painter, son of an Irish picture dealer and See also:man of letters, the author of a See also:Life of See also:George See also:Morland, was See also:born in See also:London. He studied under See also:Etty in 1807, and in 1809 exhibited his first pictures of repute—" Boys at Breakfast," and " Boys with a See also:Bird's See also:Nest." In 1815 he was made See also:associate of the Royal See also:Academy, and was elected R. A. in 1820. For the next sixteen years he was a See also:constant exhibitor; his fishermen, See also:shrimp-catchers, boats and nets, stretches of See also:coast and See also:sand, and, above all, his rustic See also:children were universally popular. Then, however, he went abroad on the See also:advice of See also:Wilkie, and for two years (1837–1838) studied the life, See also:manners and scenery of See also:Italy. In 1839 he exhibited the first fruits of this See also:journey; and in 1840, in which See also:year he was appointed librarian to the Academy, he made his first See also:appearance as a painter of See also:history. In 1842 he returned to his See also:early manner and choice of subject, and during the last years of life enjoyed greater popularity than ever. Collins was a See also:good colourist and an excellent draughtsman. His earlier pictures are deficient in breadth and force, but his later See also:work, though also carefully executed, is See also:rich in effects of See also:tone and in broadly painted masses. His See also:biography by his son, W. Wilkie Collins, the novelist, appeared in 1848.
