Edwin Henry Boddington (British, 1823-1923) – Original Signed Antique Oil on Canvas – Ballachulish, Scotland, 1879

Edwin Henry Boddington (British, 1823-1923) son of Henry Boddington, comes from the illustrious Williams family of landscape painters. He was a pupil of his father and became a competent painter in his own right. Edwin was strongly influenced by his father and he often painted similar compositions. Edwin even finished some of his father’s canvases after his death. Despite his father’s influence, Edwin Boddington developed a very personal and recognizable style, which brought him popularity across the Continent and later internationally. He exhibited throughout England, most notably eleven times at the famed Royal Academy, 45 times at Suffolk Street, and twenty-five times at the British Institution. These were probably three of the four best galleries in Great Britain in his lifetime. His better works now bring thousands of dollars and Euros. Notable galleries such as Bonhams Knightsbridge, Christies London, Woolley and Wallace, and, of course, my shop (smiling proudly) only accept the best of any artist’s work. His high reported public sale price was $9,475.00. When a fine piece is presented in the U. S. A., such as the one sold by New Orleans Auction Gallery, in their December, 2021, Major Estates Sale, it brought $4,250.00.
