Chris Collingwood
Christopher Erik Collingwood, Historical and Military Artist,
Chris has produced a wealth of impressive paintings from the Napoleonic War.
American Civil War, English Civil War, and a variety of Portraits of Great
Military Leaders, He also has produced superb paintings of Pirates, a particular
favourite of his. These superb paintings are available as Signed Limited edition
prints for you to enjoy. Most images are shown on this site in the various
Gallery's indicated.
Chris studied at Berkshire College of Art 1966 - 1970 and then worked for
Halas and Batchelor as a background artist. In the golden age of book cover
illustration Chris made the Gunslinger, Crow and Herne series his own. To this
day the shelves of High Street booksellers are full of his work. Perhaps his
best known popular pieces are in the now famous Jorvik Centre's paintings which
form the focus of the exhibitions promotion and won a travel industry award. In
recent years his best work has been paintings, such as SPQR, Anne Bonny, Mary
Reid and Calico Jack Rakam and Blackbeard in Damnation Seize My Soul.
Chris's super realistic style, using oils, brilliantly reflects the
techniques.. passion and depth of the old masters he has a particular love of
portraiture, which his new portraits of Wellington and William of Orange
certainly reflects along with others from the English Civil war his love of the
subject. He is also fascinated by the awful romance of weaponry and war. Chris
uses traditional Dutch paints made today, as in 1664, and is meticulous in his
research and attention to detail, so scarce in our modern throw away society.
Sir Anthony Van Dyke, William Dobson, Sir Peter Lely and Fortunio Matania played
a vital part in Chris's formative years. He also is much influenced by
Meissonier and De Neuville

| Stormd at with Shot and Shell, 17th Light Dragoons (Lancers) Oct 25 1854 at Balaclava by Chris Collingwood.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them,
Volleyd and thunderd,
Stormd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws of death,
into the mouth of hell
rode the six hundred.
The following is part of a letter from an officer of the Light Brigade who was camped near Balaclava on October 27th: ...there was no hesitation: down our fellows went at a gallop, through a fire in front and on both flanks, which emptied our saddles and knocked over our horses by scores. I do not think that one man flinched in the whole brigade, though every one allows that so hot a fire was hardly ever seen.

| Robert the Bruce by Chris Collingwood. In 1306 Robert the Bruce was crowned King of the Scots. In 1309 Bruce controlled most of Scotland north of the Firth and Clyde. Over the next few years Bruce conquered the English Garrisons of Perth, Dundee, Roxburgh, Dumfries and St. Andrews, leaving only Stirling in English hands. On 24th June 1314 Robert the Bruce defeated the English army at Bannockburn. The war dragged on until the peace treaty was signed in 1328, recognising Robert the Bruce as King Robert I of Scotland, and Scotland an independent Kingdom. He died the following year.
