William Roscoe (1753-1831) was an historian, poet, art collector, lawyer, politician and philanthropist. He rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most outstanding figures in Liverpool’s history. He played an important role in developing the cultural life of the city during its commercial growth in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A large part of his pioneering collection of early Italian and Netherlandish paintings is now in the Walker Art Gallery.
