Artist

Collet

Collet is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Collet made careful drawings in the late 1700s, pencil lines catching everyday scenes with quiet curiosity. A Group at a Church Porch shows a handful of people gathered by a simple stone doorway, their hats and coats plainly sketched so you feel the cool air and quiet talk. These pictures belong to an era when artists liked to record ordinary life before the big changes of the Industrial Revolution. Tap A Group at a Church Porch to step inside that shaded stone porch and look closer at the crowd.
