	FORD MADOX BROWN - LoveToKnow Article on FORD MADOX BROWN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Ford Madox Brown was the only child of his parents, save for a daughter who died young.
		In 1840 Brown completed a large picture, The Execution of Mary, queen of Scots, strong in dramatic effect and in handling, with rather sombre color; from this time forth he must be regarded as a proficient artist, independent in his point of view and strenuous in execution.
		The most marked distinction of Brown as an artist may be defined as vigorous invention of historic or dramatic scenes, carried out with a great regard to individuality in the personages, expressions and accessories of incident and detail, not excluding the familiar, the peculiar and the semi-grotesque, when these seem to subserve the general intent.
