Red Hair in Art: John Collier

John Maler Collier (1850 - 1934) was a leading English artist and author. He painted in the Pre-Raphaelite style and was one of the most prominent portrait painters of his generation. Both his marriages were to daughters of Thomas Henry Huxley. He studied painting at the Munich Academy starting in 1875.

I'm sure many of you already know some of his most famous paintings.
