Born in 1829 into a family of twelve children in Sussex, his career seemed to be predetermined. Coleman's father was a surgeon and wanted the same for his son. At first Coleman followed his father's plans, became a doctor and followed in his footsteps. His sister Helen Cordelia Coleman was different, she devoted herself to art at an early age and had the permission of her parents. Coleman's career as a surgeon, however, remained largely unsuccessful, the artist lacked the passion for the profession of a doctor. Success only came when Coleman discovered his talent for painting and began drawing nature illustrations.
The passion quickly turned into a successful artistic career, in which nature was the focus of attention for a long time. Together with Harrison Weir and Joseph Wolf, two artists who also devoted themselves to nature depictions, Coleman began various art projects that focused on nature. Weir, Wolf and Coleman started out by creating wooden artworks. Later, Coleman had a preference for watercolour paintings, which also attracted attention outside England. However, Coleman created his most famous works in his later years. After he had unmistakably found and refined his style, he also integrated more and more portraits into his works. Often nude drawings of women, but always in the style of classical art, with Renaissance and Victorian influences.
In addition to his work as an active artist, Coleman was also active on the Dudley Museum's administrative committee. The Dudley Museum was not only a museum but also an art gallery. The Dudley achieved great fame and importance because of its huge collection of fossils, but also because of the many famous artists who exhibited in the Dudley. From 1869 onwards, Coleman began to devote himself to ceramics in addition to the fine arts. In this he was also very successful. The artist helped to establish the Mintons Art Pottery Studio in Kensington Gore, once the most important ceramics factory of the Victorian Age. In general, Coleman's works were strongly influenced by the Victorian Age and its aesthetics. The artist died in London in 1904 after a long and serious illness. But his unique works and his influence on the art of ceramics have survived the time. Until today, there are exhibitions in honour of the painter, specially in his English hometown Sussex.
