Born in Marion, Arkansas in 1865, Benjamin Brown was a landscape painter and printmaker. He was known for his impressionist landscapes of the Sierra Nevada mountains and fields of poppies. Brown was educated at the University of Tennessee and at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts with Paul Harney and John Fry. In 1890, accompanied by friend William Griffith, he went to Paris for a year of study with Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant at the Académie Julian. Returning to the United States, he lived in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. His early specialties were portraiture and still lifes, but moving to Pasadena, California in 1896, he turned to the local landscape in addition to the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert in Arizona. He exhibited at the Seattle Exposition in 1909 and the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 and was a member of the California Art Club and the Pasadena Society of Artists. Benjamin Chambers Brown passed away in 1942.
