Retratista de Boston do séc. XVIII

Joseph Badger was a portrait artist in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 18th century. He was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, to tailor Stephen Badger and Mercy Kettell. He "began his career as a house-painter and glazier, and ... throughout his life continued this work, besides painting signs, hatchments and other heraldic devices, in order to eke out a livelihood when orders for portraits slackened." Em 1731, ele se casou com Katharine Felch; eles se mudaram para Boston por volta de 1733. Ele era membro da Igreja da Brattle Street. Ele faleceu em Boston em maio de 1765, quando «foi acometido por um ataque apoplético enquanto caminhava em seu jardim e expirou poucos minutos depois». Obras de Badger estão nas coleções do Worcester Art Museum, do Museum of Fine Arts de Boston e da Phillips House da Historic New England, em Salem, Massachusetts.
