Ford Madox Brown
born April 16, 1821, Calais, Fr. died Oct. 6, 1893, London, Eng. British painter. He studied in Bruges, Antwerp, Paris, and Rome. In Italy (1845) he met Peter von Cornelius, a member of the Nazarenes, who influenced his palette and style. His use of brilliant colour, meticulous handling, and taste for literary subjects had a strong effect on the Pre-Raphaelites, most notably Dante Gabriel Rossetti. His most famous paintings are The Last of England (1852-55), a poignant tribute to emigration, and Work (1852-63), a Victorian social commentary. In 1861 he became a founding member of William Morris's company, for which he designed stained glass and furniture
