Arthur Joseph Meadows may rightly be considered the leading member of this prodigious and prolific group. His father James Meadows Sr instilled in him a technical appreciation for accurate coastal views of Europe, and young Arthur set out to see and paint as many as he could find.

Travelling extensively throughout England, Holland and France, Arthur Joseph Meadows also took to the Mediterranean Ocean and the various sights and locales of Italy, Greece and the islands. He excelled in capturing local colour and detail all within a soft, subtle palette that offers peaceful realism and emotional content to his artworks.

Arthur Joseph Meadows was very successful financially with his art in his lifetime and gifted works to many private individuals and other artists that he befriended. His upper society lifestyle enabled him to be quite active in early humanitarian efforts, and he was involved in the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in the mid-Victorian Age.
