Arthur Meadows was a successful nineteenth century English maritime artist from a family with a rich artistic heritage.
He was born in Bow in the East End of London, the seventh of a large family of five sons and three daughters. He lived most of his life in London and Dover.
Arthur received most of his artistic training from his father, and developed a style reminiscent of Clarkson Stanfield, who he greatly admired. He exhibited his works with major galleries from the age of 18, including the Royal Academy.

Meadows married Laura Harrison, a seamstress and pianist and they had at least eight children. He and his wife shared a love of music; he also played the violin and accordion. He was also an amateur dramatist, a dancer and a keen sportsman. Theirs must have been an industrious and noisy household!

Meadows specialised in coastal and harbor scenes, travelling extensively around Europe, including to France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Italy. He had an impressive ability to convey the depth and movement of the sea, and to capture local color and detail within a subtle palette which gave his works a real emotional content.
Meadows made a good living from selling his art, generally direct to London dealers. He gifted works to many private individuals and other artists that he befriended. His financial success also enabled him to be active in early humanitarian efforts, and he was involved in the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in the mid-Victorian era.
Today Meadows’ paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries including The National Maritime Museum.

This original oil on canvas depicts a small sailing vessel, with a raised sail, skimming across the waves. This is a pilot boat, as denoted by the letter P on its sail. There is a larger vessel with two masts in the mid ground and a third large vessel in the background. Both of these are bathed in sunlight. This is all set in the Flemish North Sea coastline. On the shoreline we see a tall stone watch tower, with a row of modest dwellings along the shoreline. The sea is choppy with swell forming sea crests and challenging for all the vessels. The sky above is full of movement, with clouds in shades of grey and mauve. We anticipate the approaching gale which appears offshore.
