John Dobby Walker (United Kingdom, 1863 - 1925)
John Dobby Walker (1863-1925) was a painter born in Bradford who started his working career as a coach trimmer and painter at Sheethams, a local coach building firm. His first piece of art work was painting a crest on a carriage. He studied painting at the Bradford Church Institute and, following a spell as an art teacher, devoted his time to painting, mainly landscape views.
In addition to his work in England and Scotland, he visited Holland, Spain, Italy, painting scenes from his travels, and he exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. The Dowager Empress of Russia bought two of his paintings from a Royal Academy show. The Bradford Museums and Galleries collection also acquired his work at one time, and it can be found in the collection of Richmond Town Hall, North Yorkshire.
In 2001 the Harrogate art dealer, Paul McTague, held an exhibition of over 100 of John Walker’s watercolours. McTague told the local newspaper that despite his extensive European travels, the artist was ‘very much inspired by Yorkshire – particularly scenes around Bradford’.
