My photograph of the
Brazen Serpent Window at Haltwhistle has appeared in the book of the current Brown exhibition at
Manchester . I am sure that a reassessment of Ford Madox Brown's curious art is long overdue. I don't really think he improved with age and there is a certain world-weariness about the later art which seems slightly depressing.The decorative side is seems to come into greater prominence. The Manchester Murals are striking in this respect.
