Brown, Ford Madox
Born Apr. 16, 1821, in Calais; died Oct. 6, 1893, in London. English painter. Brown studied in Belgium. His historical and religious compositions, which influenced the Pre-Raphaelites, are of a romantic moralizing character and are distinguished by explicitness of detail and sharpness of color (Christ Washing Peter’s Feet, 1852, Tate Gallery, London; paintings on the history of Manchester, 1873-93, Town Hall, Manchester). Brown’s paintings The Last of England (1852-55, Birmingham Art Gallery) and Work (1852-65, Manchester Art Gallery), in which laborers are juxtaposed with the idle rich, were inspired by his social Utopian views.
