not all artists are known as "geniuses" many of them were hardly criticized.
but that doesn't mean they weren't talented. and got recognized until much later in their life.
this is John Collier
he was a Victorian writer and a painter.
in his works you can find many portraits and many works in which there is a deep back story of literary characters*All work is property of the artist *
