Ford Madox Brown was an English painter whose work was relevant to the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood. He was born in Calais, France on April 16, 182, and died on October 6, 1893, in London. He studied art in Bruges, Antwerp and Belgium from 1837 to 1839. His most well-known painting was”Work”. It has been seen as a Victorian social document. It was first shown in the exhibition held in London in 1865. From 1879 to 1893, he finished a series of twelve murals for the Manchester town hall which created scenes of city’s history. I like the texture of his painting in both “Work” and “The Irish Girl”.
