The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool $56.46 The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, was opened to the public in 1877, primarily to show the annual Autumn Exhibitions of the Royal Liverpool Academy. Many British contemporary works were purchased through this means – a selection process which was often farsighted and adventurous, and which continued well into the 20th century. Not surprisingly high and late Victorian art is strongly represented in the Gallery’s holdings. There is a stunning collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, including works by Millais, Burne-Jones and Rossetti, among others. Through the acquisition of earlier art collections, many delightful pieces from other periods can also be found here, such as a quartet of Old Master paintings: a Rembrandt self-portrait, Rubens’s Virgin and Child with St Elizabeth and the Child Baptist, a fine late Poussin landscape and one of Murillo’s most endearing Virgin and Child panels. There are 17th-century Dutch landscapes, and a fine collection of early Italian and Mannerist paintings. This century has seen the purchase of paintings by Cezanne, Degas, Monet and Seurat, as well as Nicholson, Nash, and Hockney. It is the Victorian galleries that provide the core of the collection, however. Among these are Millais’ Isabella, Dante’s Dream by Rossetti and the ever-popular And when did you last see your father? by William Yeames. Together with some excellent 18th-century British pieces they make the Walker one of the finest collections of British art.

Excerpt: CHAPTER III PICTURES OF THE FRENCH SCHOOL There are more paintings of the French school in the Museum than of the other European schools. These, of course, are chiefly modern, for French art was late in developing, and very few specimens of early painters exist in any American collection. The soft enamelled head, probably by Grimou, is an exquisite piece of eighteenth century work; the light delicate profile on the dark background is most attractive. There are a couple of heads by Greuze — at least, one is certainly by Greuze (the Chapeau Blanc), and the other — ? not as satisfactory, at any rate. Among early pictures, the Museum received in 1877 a painting attributed to David, representing the scene of Hector being dragged at the car of Achilles, and a little Ingres, Triton and the Nymph; while in 1906 a treasure was added in the shape of a portrait by Philippe de Champaigne, of Arnould d’Andilly. Not only is this portrait very important as a work of art, but the fact is interesting that Philippe de Champaigne and Arnould were friends at Port Royal. They died in the same year. On the records at Port Royal the name of Philippe de Champaigne appears near that of Andilly, and he is described as a good painter and a good Ch…
