Ford Madox Brown (16 April 1821 – 6 October 1893) is an English painter of moral and historical subjects, notable for his distinctively graphic and often Hogarthian version of the Pre-Raphaelite style.

Arguably, his most notable painting is Work.

Brown spends the latter years of his life painting The Manchester Murals for Manchester Town Hall, which depict Mancunian history.
