to the United States in 1835, and he grew up in Albany, New York where he started his career as a self-taught
artist. At this early stage he was influenced by the artists of the Hudson River School.
Boughton exhibited extensively in both Britain and USA, and was elected a member of the National Academy
of Design in New York in 1871. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, an
Associate of the Royal Academy (ARA) in 1879, and a Royal Academician (RA) in 1896. His subject matter largely
included illustrations of American colonial history.
