Joseph Walter (1865-1946) was an Austrian artist, trained at the Munich and Vienna Academies, who came to the United States in 1897 and made his life as a church painter in Dubuque, Iowa. He was also one of the first professional artists to live in Dubuque.
In preparation for this retrospective, a series of smaller exhibitions were held each year since 2007. This retrospective was the first major exhibition of this master painter and includes 57 works of art from 18 area collections.
