Ford Madox Brown

Ford Madox Brown in 1867, drawn by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

Ford Madox Brown (16 April 1821 – 6 October 1893) was an English painter of moral and historical subjects, notable for his distinctively graphic and often Hogarthian version of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Arguably, his most notable painting was Work (1852–1865). Brown spent the latter years of his life painting the Manchester Murals, depictingMancunian history, for Manchester Town Hall.
