Collianos - this is not an artist, as well as to mark an entire Artel artists. Discussion on the works Collianos was http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showthread.php?t=50591
I'll try to answer you, although I do not have all the information, but I hope that someone will connect and supplement.
It is known that Russia has long worked the farm icon painting, producing continuous method hundreds of icons in the afternoon. So also there were similar Artel artists, "stamped" secular painting. The best known of them in the late XIX - early XX century in Russia were the two: Collianos and Ducommun. They put on the flow of production patterns: basically, fashionable at the time of landscapes, which are dominated by sea. Sign these paintings as a kind of "brand" the farm, rather than a specific artist. And what artists have worked in these cooperatives, remains unknown. Clarity on the issue clarifying the history Collianos (Ducommun), as I understand it, the members of the forum there, and I would very much like to clarify this story, because the picture with a "signature" pop up pretty regularly.
