Artist
Robert Walker
Robert Walker is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst.
A 17th-century painter in England, Robert Walker left vivid oil portraits of the men who shaped the nation’s politics. He captured Oliver Cromwell at least twice—once in 1641 and again in 1658—along with portraits of Cromwell’s ally Thomas Fairfax and a self-portrait dated 1645. Each face stares straight at you, the brushwork direct and plain. See how Cromwell’s stern gaze holds power in Cromwell (1641).
