Branwell Brontë
Patrick Branwell Brontë (, commonly ; 26 June 1817 – 24 September 1848) was an English painter and writer. He was the only son of the
Brontë family, and brother of the writers
Charlotte,
Emily, and
Anne. Brontë was rigorously tutored at home by his father, and earned praise for his poetry and
translations from the classics. However, he drifted between jobs, supporting himself by portrait-painting, and gave way to drug and alcohol addiction, apparently worsened by a failed relationship with a married woman. Brontë died at the age of 31.
