Biography

French painter who also dabbled as a craftsman, a designer of glass and furniture. In his paintings, he is most noted for his literary subjects and the meticulous handling of his medium.

Moving to England in 1846, he became a friend of the Pre-Raphaelites, who influenced his work but he never became a member of the brotherhood. Some of his exhibited pieces include, "Chaucer at the Court of Edward III," in 1848, "The Last of England," in 1855 and "Work" in 1852. In 1861 Brown was a founding member of the William Morris company, for which he designed stained glass and furniture.

Brown was an individualist and a man of prickly temperament; he opposed the Royal Academy and was a pioneer of the one-man exhibit.

He died October 6, 1893 in London, age 72.
