Oil on board. Featuring landscape scene with cottage. Signed and attr. Arthur Joseph Meadows (British, 1843-1907. Dated 1876 with gallery label on verso. 7.5 x 8.7 in. (19 x 22 cm). Arthur Joseph Meadows was a painter of coastal scenes and marines who was greatly influenced by Clarkson Stanfield. Arthur Joseph is generally considered to be the best of the Meadows family of marine artists, he was the younger brother of James Edwin Meadows Jnr. and the son of James Meadows Snr. His work compares favourably with most of the major nineteenth century maritime painters producing seas, which look as if they might be subject to all the vagaries of the tidal forces. He had the ability to convey the depth and immensity of the ocean. His shoreline scenes with beached boats lying close to the waters edge, while fishermen unload their catch, were also very effectively executed. Meadows painted harbours and coastal scenes in England, France and Holland. He exhibited mainly at Suffolk Street as well as at The Royal Academy 1863 - 72, and The British Institute between 1863 and 1867. Meadows’ paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries including The National Maritime Museum.
