George Henry Boughton

George Henry Boughton

George Henry Boughton (1834-1905) was an Anglo-American painter.

He was born in England, but his parents immigrated to the United States in 1839, and he grew up in Albany, New York. He studied art in Paris from 1861 to 1862, and subsequently lived mainly in London; he was greatly influenced by Frederick Walker.

He was elected an A.R.A. in 1879, an R.A. in 1896, and a member of the National Academy of Design in New York in 1871. His pictures of Dutch life and scenery were especially characteristic; and his subject-pictures, such as the "Return of the Mayflower" and "The Scarlet Letter", were very popular in America.
