This has been asked here and elsewhere - I believe there are dates to when this person lived/died.

They would certainly help.

[Quizzer123]

Sorry the person has to have lived sometime between Gallulei and Shakespeare.

[Jackdaw33]

Yes, from Salford.

That makes no sense:

Galileo Galilei - 1564-1642
William Shakespeare - 1564-1616

[Jackdaw33]

If that's the case then I am seriously wrong but it's the first name that comes to mind.

LS Lowry was not a 'painter'. He was an artist who used paints and brushes.

[ichkeria]

Eh?

[JimF]

The OP is saying that the answer must be someone who lived "between Gallulei [sic] and Shakespeare", and I'm saying that that makes no sense.

(Walter) Raleigh
RA - artist
Leigh - town in greater Manchester

[RM54]

Died 1618 - between the death date of Shakespeare and Galileo

[Tilly2]

Well done, RM.
