About this person
Brown spent much of his life abroad, and the motives of his pictures are usually Italian, and there is nothing specifically American about them either in treatment or sentiment. Among the best are Sunset in Genoa (1875), Doges' Palace and Grand Canal, Bay of Naples, Niagara Falls in Moonlight. The Bay of New York (1869) was acquired by King Edward VII when visiting America as Prince of Wales.
