British, 1821–1893

Ford Madox Brown was a British Pre-Raphaelite artist. 15 works are cataloged here, principally at Ashmolean Museum. Ford Madox Brown was born in Calais.

Ford Madox Brown (16 April 1821 – 6 October 1893) was a British 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 twelve works known as The Manchester Murals, depicting Mancunian history, for Manchester Town Hall.
