13^th - 16^th century galleries - part one

Although the Walker Art Gallery was not founded with a specific policy to collect works from this period, it has acquired many pieces of outstanding quality. The majority of the works comes from two private collections amassed by the 19^th century Liverpool collectors William Roscoe and Joseph Mayer.

Here you can see some of the earliest works from the Walker Art Gallery's collection. Most of these have a religious theme. This reflects the church's role as the main patron of the arts during the middle ages and early Renaissance.

Please note that this is only a selection from our collection.
