Life

Boaden was the son of the theatre critic James Boaden. A painter of portraits and theatrical subjects, he exhibited 40 works at the Royal Academy between 1810 and 1833, 90 at the British Institute between 1810 and 1839, and 59 at the Society of British Artists between 1827 and 1840 (in the last year posthumously).[1]

Just six weeks after his father's death, Boaden died of "apoplexy" in London, aged 46.[2]

gollark: Apparently I have 107 tabs open now. I should really do something about this.
gollark: I mean, IIRC they've also at times somehow dumped people into "transporter buffer" storage.
gollark: We definitely, at least, live in a time you could consider more *interesting* than previous ones.
gollark: It's not like they can make a news article titled "Many Things Are Gradually Improving!"
