William Collins RA (1788-1847) was an English landscape and genre painter. He showed a great aptitude for art from an early age, and was, for a while, an informal pupil of George Morland. In 1807, he entered the schools of the Royal Academy and exhibited at the Academy for the first time in the same year. After leaving the Academy Collins undertook a sketching tour of the coast near Cromer, and produced a Scene on the Coast of Norfolk which was acquired by the Prince Regent. In 1820, Collins was elected a Royal Academician (RA), presenting as his diploma picture The Young Anglers. Collins travelled extensively to Scotland, Germany, Italy and Paris. He died in 1847.
