John Collier

At his blog Underpaintings, Matthew Innis has assembled an extensive portfolio of the British academic painter John Collier, along with a biography.

Here is Collier’s take on Queen Guinevere going a Maying.

I love Collie a lot, thank you for the great link! How exactly do I download the pdf? I never see a download link at google books

Saskia, when Google books displays the book, look for a little row of blue words above the book page that says: "Plain Text" "Link" etc. Click on the one that says "PDF." Your computer should then allow you to save the file to your desktop.
