Landscape, Sunset

He was born in Islington, the son of the well-known landscape painter Henry John Boddington, and he learned to paint from his father. Boddington exhibited at the Royal Academy (11 works), the British Institution (25 works), and Suffolk Street (45 works).[1] He painted mainly views on the Thames River that are illuminated either by sunset or moonlight. Most of his river scenes are painted in very dark greens and browns, and many resemble some of the earlier works of his father.[2] In the early 1860s, he lived with his wife Helena, also an artist, in Merrow, Surrey.

He is thought to have died about 1905, possibly in Australia where his sons Percy Reginald Boddington (1866-1936) and Henry Frederick Boddington (1870-1940) had emigrated.[3] Examples of his work hang in the Glasgow Museum, Rotherham Museum, Reading Town Hall and the Ealing Central Library.[4]

gollark: I see.
gollark: How well does your parser handle stuff like `<br>`?
gollark: To be honest Perl regexes probably can parse HTML, but they are also probably TC.
gollark: It encourages people to keep doing their silly standard-violating things because they technically *work*, and makes your parsing logic more complex and flaky.
gollark: And they *do* handle it, because at some point down the line someone thought making it compatible was better than encouraging people to NOT DO REALLY STUPID UNPARSEABLE THINGS.
