Ford Madox Brown: Pre-Raphaelite Pioneer

Estranged from the art establishment, Ford Maddox Brown painted the social ills of his day with an unsentimental yet lyrical realism, making him one of the more socially engaged Pre-Raphaelite artists. This catalogue to his Manchester Art Gallery retrospective in 2012 illustrates over 150 of his works, including The Last of England and Waiting, and features essays on Browns character, humour and political views.
