Chris Collingwood

Chris studied at Berkshire College of Art from 1966 – 1970. In his own words “I hope you share my passion for military history, the romance of historical drama and above all realistic fine art painting. These days I spend most of my working time painting military pieces, usually consisting of panoramic battle scenes, historical portraits and the ordinary soldier through the ages. The periods covered so far range from the ancient Greece of the Spartans, classical Rome, Viking and Saxon, Medieval warfare to the English and American Civil Wars. From the notorious pirates and buccaneers of the 18th century through the Napoleonic war, the conflicts of the British Empire to the World Wars of the 20th century”.
