Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893) is known predominantly for his close association, from 1848, with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and for his masterpiece, "The last of England" (1852-5), with its poignant imagery of a young emigrant couple taking their last sight of home-portraits of the artist himself and his wife. This fully illustrated catalogue provides the first complete coverage of all of Madox Brown's work. All aspects of his documented work, extant or lost, are presented in this magnificent catalogue, which includes a section on Madox Brown's frame designs (by Lynn Roberts). The artist's diary and his largely unpublished correspondence with associates and patrons provide a fascinating insight into his ideas and plan of work. A tour de force of scholarship, this book will be of immense value to scholars of nineteenth-century British art.
