{"title":"Collinson, James","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Collinson (1825-1881)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Victorian painter who was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood from 1848 to 1850.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was born at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire and was the son of a bookseller. He entered the Royal Academy Schools, where he was a fellow student of Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollinson was a devout Christian who was attracted to the devotional and high church aspects of Pre-Raphaelitism. A convert to Catholicism, Collinson reverted to high Anglicanism in order to propose marriage Christina Rossetti, but his conscience forced his return to Catholicism and the ending of the engagement. This had a profound aspect on Rossetti's work, Collinson's departure influencing a great many of her poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring his period as a Pre-Raphaelite, Collinson contributed a long devotional poem to The Germ and produced a number of religious works, most importantly The Renunciation of St Elizabeth of Hungary (1850).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Millais's painting Christ in the House of his Parents was accused of blasphemy, Collinson resigned from the Brotherhood in the belief that it was bringing the Christian religion into disrepute. After his resignation Collinson trained for the priesthood at a Jesuit college, but did not complete his studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1858, he married Eliza Wheeler, one of the sisters-in-law of the painter John Rogers Herbert, an early influence on the Pre-Raphaelites. Returning to his artistic career he painted a number of secular genre paintings, the best-known of which are To Let and For Sale, both of which lightheartedly depict pretty women in situations that suggest moral temptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was secretary of the Society of British Artists from 1861 to 1870. In the latter part of his life he lived in Brittany, where he painted The Holy Family (1878). He died in April 1881.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"collinson-james-1825-1881-the-empty-purse-1857","title":"Collinson, James (1825-1881) - The Empty Purse 1857","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empty Purse is an 1857 painting by Pre-Raphaelite artist James Collinson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4410 pixels wide by 5435 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\/collinson-james\" title=\"James Collinson\"\u003eJames Collinson\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50739975422282,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Collinson_James_1825-1881_-TheEmptyPurse1857_main.jpg?v=1747051992"},{"product_id":"collinson-james-1825-1881-the-writing-lesson-c-1851","title":"Collinson, James (1825-1881) - The Writing Lesson c.1851","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Writing Lesson c.1851 is a painting by Pre-Raphaelite artist, James Collinson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4730 pixels wide by 6116 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\/collinson-james\" title=\"James Collinson\"\u003eJames Collinson\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740022837578,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Collinson_James_1825-1881_-TheWritingLesson_main.jpg?v=1747051991"},{"product_id":"pre-raphaelite-collection-574-high-resolution-images","title":"Pre-Raphaelite Collection - 574 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExperience the beauty and passion of the Pre-Raphaelite movement through this collection of 574 images from talented Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood members and artists who embraced the style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"3096898007996193811\"\u003eThe Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters, poets and art critics formed in 1848.
