Ford Madox Brown by Julian Treuherz

Ford Madox Brown by Julian Treuherz

Ford Madox Brown had already pioneered a style of painting which came to be known as Pre-Raphaelite before the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848. His beautifully observed landscapes anticipated the open-air effects of the Impressionists. His art was anti-academic, rejecting easy solutions, prettiness, and conventional Victorian formulae. He depicted children without sentimentality and poor people without condescension. This major monograph provides a general introduction to Brown's art based on new research; all of his important paintings are included, each one is illustrated and described.

Julian Treuherz is an independent art historian and curator and an expert on Victorian art. During his time as Keeper of Fine Art at Manchester Art Gallery, he published a book on the gallery's Pre-Raphaelite collection (1980, re-issued 1993) and an account of Ford Madox Brown's Manchester murals. Kenneth Bendimer is professor of art history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His publications include 'An Introduction to Victorian Painting' (1985) and 'The Art of Ford Madox Brown' (1998). Angela Thirlwell is a biographer whose books include 'Into the Frame: The Four Loves of Ford Madox Brown' and 'William and Lucy: The Other Rossettis' (2003).
