SUMMARY:Walker Art Gallery: Walker Art Gallery: Baroque Art from Rome to En
 gland
DESCRIPTION:William Dobson (1611-1646) was one of England’s greatest pain
 ters. One of his most extraordinary pictures is in the Walker’s collecti
 on\, The Executioner with the Head of John the Baptist made between 1640-6
 .\n\nThis dramatic and grisly scene was copied after a painting by Matthia
 s Stom (about 1600 – after 1652)\, probably made in Rome around 1630-2.\
 n\nFor just the second time since they were made almost 400 years ago\, an
 d for the first time ever in Liverpool\, these two paintings will be reuni
 ted. Generously loaned by the National Gallery in London\, Stom’s pictur
 e will be displayed alongside Dobson’s copy here at the Walker.\n\nStom
 ’s painting was brought to England by the 1640s. Rife with religious and
  political tension\, the country was on the brink of civil war. Images lik
 e this expressed Catholic tastes and were rare in 17th-century Britain. Wh
 at is even more unusual is that Dobson\, an English painter\, copied it 
 – all probably while working at the exiled court of Charles I in Oxford.
 \n\nWe are also showcasing other impressive and unseen 17th-century copies
  in this display. Join us for this unique chance to see these pictures whi
 ch explore the relationship between Britain and the rest of Europe during 
 the turbulent 1600s.\n\nThe display is a collaboration with the National G
 allery Curatorial Traineeship Programme supported by Art Fund with the ass
 istance of the Vivmar Foundation.
