{"title":"Collier, John","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Maler Collier (1850-1934)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a British painter and writer. He painted in the Pre-Raphaelite style, and was one of the most prominent portrait painters of his generation. Both of his marriages were to daughters of Thomas Henry Huxley. He was educated at Eton College, and he studied painting in Paris with Jean-Paul Laurens and at the Munich Academy starting in 1875.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollier was from a talented and successful family. His grandfather, John Collier, was a Quaker merchant who became a member of parliament. His father, Robert (a member of parliament, Attorney General and, for many years, a full-time judge of the Privy Council) was created the first Lord Monkswell. Collier was a member of the New Society of Artists as well as the Royal Society of British Artists. He had artists' studios in his home at 7 Chelsea Embankment for the use of John and his wife Marion. John Collier's elder brother, the second Lord Monkswell, was Under-Secretary of State for War and Chairman of the London County Council.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn due course, Collier became an integral part of the family of Thomas Henry Huxley PC, President of the Royal Society from 1883 to 1885. Collier married two of Huxley's daughters and was \"on terms of intimate friendship\" with his son, the writer Leonard Huxley. Collier's first wife, in 1879, was Marian Huxley (Mady). She was a painter who studied, like her husband, at the Slade and exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. In 1881, the couple settled in Tite Street, Chelsea, in a purpose-built studio house, alongside their friend Anna Lea Merritt. After the birth of their only child, a daughter Joyce, Marian suffered severe post-natal depression and was taken to Paris for treatment where, however, she contracted pneumonia and died in 1887. Joyce became a portrait miniaturist and was a member of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1889 Collier married Mady's younger sister Ethel Huxley. Until the Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act 1907 such a marriage was not possible in England, so the ceremony took place in Norway. By his second wife he had a daughter and a son, Sir Laurence Collier, who was the British Ambassador to Norway 1941-1951.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollier's range of portrait subjects was broad. In 1893, for example, his subjects included Lovelace Stamer, Bishop of Shrewsbury; Sir John Lubbock FRS; A N Hornby (Captain of the Lancashire Eleven); Edward Augustus Inglefield (Admiral and Arctic explorer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis commissioned portrait of the Duke of York (later George V) as Master of Trinity House in 1901, and the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) were his major royal portraits. The latter work was hung in Durbar Hall, Jodhpur, Rajputana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther subjects included two Lord Chancellors (the Earl of Selborne in 1882 and the Earl of Halsbury) in 1897; The Speaker of the House of Commons, William Gully, (1897); senior legal figures the Lord Chief Justice Lord Alverstone (1912) and the Master of the Rolls Sir George Jessel (1881).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"collier-john-1850-1934-hetty-sorrel-1890","title":"Collier, John (1850-1934) - Hetty Sorrel 1890","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"9330443847828988221\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Collier's \"Hetty Sorrel\" is a depiction of the character from George Eliot's novel Adam Bede.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"9330443847828988778\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe painting shows Hetty Sorrel running through a forest with a hurried posture and a chilling gaze.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 3920 pixels wide by 6510 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/collier-john\" title=\"John Collier\"\u003eJohn Collier\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50772041924938,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Collier_John_1850-1934_-HettySorrel1890_main.jpg?v=1747051960"},{"product_id":"collier-john-1850-1934-in-the-venusberg-tannhauser-1901","title":"Collier, John (1850-1934) - In the Venusberg Tannhäuser 1901","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"9330443847828988221\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'In the Venusberg Tannhäuser' vividly represents the tale of Tannhäuser, a knight enthralled by Venus, the goddess of love.
