Colin Hunter (1841-1904) was a hugely successful Scottish Victorian artist who exhibited nearly 100 works in the Royal Academy over 35 years. He lived at 14 Melbury Road, Kensington, in the heart of the Holland Park Circle and the smart set of the enclave of famous artists, including Lord Leighton, G.F. Watts and Sir Luke Fildes among others, most of whom were both Hunter's friends and neighbours. In the 100 or so years since Hunter's death he has - undeservedly - gradually faded into relative obscurity. This book is not just a biography of the artist, it is also the most comprehensive catalogue of his works to date.
