"The Seeds and Fruits of English Poetry" is a fresco by the British painter Ford Madox Brown, completed in 1856 as part of a series of murals for the Manchester Town Hall. This work is one of twelve murals that were commissioned to adorn the Great Hall, each illustrating the history of Manchester and the surrounding region. Brown's contribution to this series reflects the rich literary heritage of England, celebrating the development of English poetry.

The fresco depicts Chaucer, who is often regarded as the Father of English literature, reading his work to the court of King Edward III. The scene is an embodiment of the growth and blossoming of English poetry, with Chaucer at its root. The figures surrounding Chaucer represent various classes of medieval society, symbolizing the wide-reaching influence of poetry across different strata of the populace.

Ford Madox Brown, a prominent figure associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail, historical accuracy, and the use of vibrant colors. His work on the Manchester Town Hall murals, including "The Seeds and Fruits of English Poetry," is considered a significant contribution to the Victorian public art movement, combining aesthetic beauty with educational and moral themes.

The fresco is notable for its intricate composition and the way it captures the cultural and social dynamics of the time. Brown's inclusion of Chaucer and the allegorical representation of the growth of English poetry highlight the importance of literary arts in the nation's cultural identity. "The Seeds and Fruits of English Poetry" remains an important work for its artistic merit and as a historical document of England's literary legacy.
