"The Last of England" is a mid-19th-century painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Ford Madox Brown, created between 1852 and 1855. The painting is a poignant portrayal of emigration, capturing the emotional intensity of a Victorian-era couple as they depart from England, possibly for Australia, during a period of significant economic distress in Britain. The work is notable for its rich detail, symbolic elements, and the intense expression of the subjects, which reflect the uncertainty and sorrow associated with leaving one's homeland.

Brown's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to naturalism are evident in the painting's realistic depiction of the figures and the sea. The central figures, a man and a woman, are believed to be based on Brown himself and his wife, Emma. The woman clutches her infant and looks forlornly out to sea, while the man, with his back to the viewer, steadies the ship's railing, his face obscured by a red hood. The somber mood is accentuated by the stark, wintry sea and the gray, overcast sky.

The painting is celebrated for its technical excellence and its emotional resonance, as well as its social commentary on the experience of emigrants. Brown's work diverged from the idealized historical and literary themes common among his contemporaries, focusing instead on contemporary social issues with a compassionate and humanistic approach. "The Last of England" is considered one of Brown's masterpieces and remains an important work in the canon of Pre-Raphaelite art. It is held in the collection of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham, England, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest.
