Christopher Erik Collingwood, Historical and Military Artist,
Chris has produced a wealth of impressive paintings from the Napoleonic War.
American Civil War, English Civil War, and a variety of Portraits of Great
Military Leaders, He also has produced superb paintings of Pirates, a particular
favourite of his. These superb paintings are available as Signed Limited edition
prints for you to enjoy. Most images are shown on this site in the various
Gallery's indicated.
Chris studied at Berkshire College of Art 1966 - 1970 and then worked for
Halas and Batchelor as a background artist. In the golden age of book cover
illustration Chris made the Gunslinger, crow and Herne series his own. To this
day the shelves of High street booksellers are full of his work. Perhaps his
best known popular pieces are in the now famous Jorvik Centre's paintings which
form the focus of the exhibitions promotion and won a travel industry award. In
recent years his best work has been paintings, such as SPQR, Anne Bonny, Mary
Reid and Calico Jack Rakam and Blackbeard in Damnation Seize My Soul.
Chris's super realistic style, using oils, brilliantly reflects the
techniques.. passion and depth of the old masters he has a particular love of
portraiture, which his new portraits of Wellington and William of Orange
certainly reflects along with others from the English Civil war his love of the
subject. He is also fascinated by the awful romance of weaponry and war. Chris
uses traditional Dutch paints made today, as in 1664, and is meticulous in his
research and attention to detail, so scarce in our modern throw away society.
Sir Anthony Van Dyke, William Dobson, Sir Peter Lely and Fortunio Matania played
a vital part in Chris's formative years. He also is much influenced by
Meissonier and De Neuville

| Vicksburg 1863
Grant Clears the Mississippi
The capture of Vicksburg , key to the Mississippi, ranks with
Gettysburg as on of the turning points of the American Civil War. It was
also one of Grant's finest campaigns, a true test of character and
leadership. Alan Hankinson, author of First Bull Run, here describes the
frustrating series of operations by which Grant attempted to bypass the
swamps and bayous that protected the city to the north; the Battles of
Champion Hill and Big Black River; and the siege.

Gettysburg 1863
High Tide of the Confederacy
The Confederate invasion of the Northern states was General Lee's last
great gamble. By taking the war to the Union he hoped to force Lincoln
into peace negotiations, or win support from the European powers -
watching events closely from across the Atlantic. Equally, Meade's Army of
the Potomac needed to regain it's fighting credibility after the setbacks
of Fredericksburg and saw this as an opportunity to redeem it's
honour. The clash of 150,000 soldiers from both sides would ultimately
decide the fate of the nation.

Brigade, this book is the story of the Confederacy's first victory. The
author, Alan Hankinson, is a freelance journalist and also the author of a

Shiloh 1862
The Death of Innocence
The first major battle in the Western Theatre of the American Civil
War, Shiloh came as a horrifying shock to both public and army. For the
first time they had an idea of the terrible price that would be paid for
the preservation of the Union. On 6 April 1862 General Albert Sidney
Johnston caught Grant by surprise and very nearly defeated him. Somehow
the federals hung on and the next day managed to drive back the hordes of
grey-clad rebels. Shiloh would be the benchmark for the next three years
of bloody war.

| Chancellorsville 1863
Jackson's Lightning Strike
This remains one of the most famous battles of the Civil War,
containing a cast of fascinating characters: Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson,
'Fighting Joe' Hooker, Jubal Early and George Meade and is still
considered to be Robert E Lee's greatest victory. Outnumbered almost four
to one by the Army of the Potomac, he devised a tactical masterpiece which
routed one Federal corps after another until victory was secured. It was
to be Jackson's final battle and a fitting memorial to his military
genius.

Chickamauga 1863
The River of Death
Chickamauga - an Indian name meaning 'River of Death' - was one of the
bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. Fought in densely wooded
terrain just south of Chattanooga, this was to be the greatest
western-theatre battle of the conflict, a hard fought victory for the
Confederates that halted the advance of Rosecrans' Union Army of
Cumberland into Tennessee. The author, Jim Arnold, lives in Virginia and
has contributed several previous volumes to the series.
