'He was not allowed membership because of his foreign birth.'??? Where did that come from? He was invited to join, but turned it down. Certainly, Hunt was never happy about the prospect of Brown's membership, as he considered his art too eccentic. But it was Brown who did not want to join a group. Anyway, I'm changing this.

This J D Wetherspoon pub is named after the much-travelled artist Ford Madox Brown, a one-time resident of Victoria Park, a suburb south of the pub. Two of his most famous paintings, 'Work' and 'The Last of England', can be seen in Manchester City Art Gallery.
Surely The Last of England is in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, as it says on the picture credit? I certainly saw it there recently! Should the last sentence be deleted? Tamino ( talk) 14:20, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Gosh, I know this isn't the place, but doesn't the man in "The Last of England" look scarily like the actor James McAvoy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.17.6 ( talk) 20:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Ah, perhaps. I know you're mocking me, must you must at least see the resemblance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.192.51 ( talk) 11:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps we should switch the two portraits of FMB, and use the (new to Commons) Rossetti drawing in the info box? I'm not sure if there is a preference for self-portraits, however youthful. - PKM ( talk) 03:22, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
The first two sentences in the fifth paragraph in the section Ford Madox Brown#Work are as follows:
These sentences need improvement, but before I make any changes, I'd like to be sure about something. The first sentence says "Brown's most important painting was Work..., begun in Hampstead in 1852." The second sentence begins, "Its completion was commissioned by Thomas Plint..." I really don't understand why these are spoken about separately. Does this mean that Thomas Plint only began encouraging and supporting the artist when the artist was half-way done with the painting? If so, that is unusual and should be explained. If not, and Thomas Plint asked Brown to paint this painting right from the beginning, then it should simply say, "Thomas Plint commissioned the work". Hafspajen Crisco 1492 Can you sort this out? CorinneSD ( talk) 22:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
This was it. This is a seriously bad gallery. Hafspajen ( talk) 22:25, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
User:Paul Barlow Thanks for the explanation, but I still think "Its completion was commissioned by..." is unclear and is a very unusual use of the verb "commissioned". If it is to be mentioned at all, I think clearer, simpler language such as you used would be better. Something like:
Yes, they are too small. Hafspajen ( talk) 23:22, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
