Biography

Sir John Alfred Arnesby Brown (29 March 1866 in Nottingham – 16 November 1955 in Haddiscoe, Norfolk) was an English footballer and landscape artist who came to be known as "one of the leading British landscape artists of the 20th century". He played in The Football League for Notts County, his only appearance coming in a heavy 9–1 defeat to Aston Villa in September 1888. As a landscape artist, he was best known for his impressionistic depictions of pastoral landscapes, often featuring cattle; for his achievements in this field, he was knighted in 1938.
