Art lovers have until the end of January 2012 to catch the Ford Madox Brown: Pre-Raphaelite Pioneer exhibition in Manchester.

Taking place at the Manchester Art Gallery, the show represents the first major exhibition of the English painter's work since 1964 and features approximately 140 pieces.

It is due to run until Sunday January 29th, with admission to the Mosley Street gallery priced at £8. Concessions are available for £6 and under-18s can go in for free.

Divided into 11 key themes, the exhibition explores different stages of Brown's life in an attempt to support a better understanding of his work and influence on the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

Visitors can also learn about the years the artist spent in the north-west city working on the Manchester Murals - a series of 12 historical paintings he completed at the Town Hall.

Curated by Victorian art expert Julian Treuherz, the exhibition is due to move to a gallery in Ghent, Belgium after it closes in Manchester.

The Manchester Art Gallery is open between 10:00 and 17:00 GMT, Tuesday to Sunday.

Art lovers can browse LateRooms.com for a diverse selection of hotels in Manchester, including the City Warehouse Apartments.
