MEADOWS, Arthur Joseph
British ( 1843 - 1907)

Arthur Joseph Meadows specialised in painting harbour and coastal scenes across England, France and Holland. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and Suffolk Street in London between 1863 and 1867. His sons, James Edwin and James Junior, also became noted artists, though the father is generally considered to be the best of the group.

There is an example of Arthur Joseph Meadows' work in the National Martime Museum.
