Charles Allston Collins: Lost Love

Charles Allston Collins (1828-1873) was the son of landscape and genre painter William Collins. After meeting John Everett Millais, Collins became influenced by the ideas of the Pre-Raphaelites. Although never a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Collins adhered to their stated mission of selecting subjects that conveyed “heartfelt” ideas rendered through the close study of nature.

Collins’s career was brief; his failure to attract clients prompted him to turn to writing, but he was overshadowed by the success of his older brother, the novelist Wilkie Collins.
