William Dobson Biography

(b London, bapt 4 March 1611; d London, bur 28 Oct 1646). English painter. His father, William Dobson, was a gentleman of St Albans employed by Francis Bacon, Viscount Verulam, on the building and decoration at Verulam House and Gorhambury; he was also probably Master of the Alienation Office and a member of the Painter-Stainers’ Company, but according to John Aubrey, ‘he spending his estate luxuriously upon women, necessity forced his son William Dobson to be the most excellent painter that England has yet bred’.
