John Collier (1850- 1934) was a British Pre-Raphaelite painter, illustrator and published author. He was educated in London by Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Edward Poynter, before moving to Paris to study with Jean-Paul Laurens. Insisting upon extreme, sometimes workmanlike accuracy in his paintings of historical and mythological events, Collier also painted many portraits of kings, noblemen, actors and socialites, and was a founding member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
