Robert Collinson is a Realism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Robert Collinson painted quiet scenes of everyday life and places in the 1800s. Try his Stray Rabbits (1857), where a few rabbits wander a simple yard, or Buildings in the Grounds of the South Kensington Museum in 1862, which captures the museum’s brick buildings in soft light. He also recorded Ordered on Foreign Service (1863), a snapshot of buildings and people in transit.

Tap Buildings in the Grounds of the South Kensington Museum in 1862 to step into his measured, unflashy world.
