Ford Maddox Brown - And the Pre-Raphaelite Circle (Hardcover)

This is the first biography this century of the Pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown, whose paintings include "The Last of England" and "Work". It describes his rich family life, his more troubled relations with the art establishment and his friend, Rossetti and his influence on other painters. The authors argue that Madox Brown's work has suffered unjust neglect for much of this century.
