OIL PAINTING : Chaucer at the Court of Edward III, 1846-1851 |
|
Madox Brown's paintings were highly original at a time when British art was mundane and predictable; his subjects were to do with English literature and language but produced in a dark, highly mannered, and dramatic style synthesized from his early European training and his tours of Italy and Switzerland. Brown paintings bore the brunt of his two great weaknesses - finishing and retouching. Even more so than Rossetti, he was almost incapable of finishing his paintings, this meant that Brown was never able to leave a work alone, even when it was ostensibly finished, he would continually retouch it, even though sometimes the painting was already sold.
