Biography: A resident of Baltimore for little more than a decade, Quartley was so impressed by Maryland's scenic Chesapeake Bay, ocean and rivers that he drew on this subject matter after he departed Maryland for New York.
Arthur Quartley was born in Paris, son of an English engraver, but moved to Peekskill, New York with his family when he was 14 years old. Throughout his youth, he studied drawing with his father who demanded that each of his sons create two drawings each week. Quartley was apprenticed to a sign painter at age 17, and was soon able to move to Baltimore where he had family and founded an interior design firm in 1862.
The firm, Emmart and Quartley, "did only high grade work and were regarded as the best decorators in the city." (C. G. Quartley, reproduced in Dictionary of American Biography, p. 296) During his time in Baltimore, he began to paint marine scenes and had a successful show and sale at the photographic studio of Norval H. Busey. Scholar Elizabeth Johns has said that Quartley's work reveals his familiarity with the Dutch marine tradition, in composition, light and color. (350 Years) In 1873, he became a full-time painter. He returned to New York in about 1875, where he continued to paint marine scenes, this time of New York Harbor, bays off Long Island and the New Hampshire Isle of Shoals.
Quartley was a pallbearer at renowned Neo-Classical sculptor William Henry Rinehart's funeral, along with William T. Walters, Francis Blackwell Mayer and Andrew J. H. Way, all figures central to Maryland art history in the 19th Century.
One of his works resides in the collection of the National Academy of Design. In 1879 he was elected an associate of the National Academy; in 1886, an academician. He was also one of the early members of the Society of American Artists, and a member of the Water Color and Artists' Fund Societies.

(excerpt)
Frederick William Quartly, Branston's apprentice, also acquired French experience. Having married Mary Ann Folkard at St Pancras Church in 1834, and baptised a son, Frederick James, at St Olave's, City of London, in 1835, he moved to Paris. A second son, Arthur Quartly, was born in Paris in May 1839. French-born Arthur Quartley, in middle age, became renowned as an American marine-painter, an associate of the American National Academy in 1879, and an academician in 1886. The Appletons Encyclopedia biography of Arthur relates that at the age of two he was taken back to London from Paris and that he studied art in Westminster from 1848-1850, before his father took him to New York in 1852. The move to New York followed a series of family deaths in their Southwark home. Mary Ann and a baby, also Mary Ann, both died in 1851 and Frederick James died aged sixteen, in March 1852. Frederick William had some success in New York as a landscape painter and as an engraver. In 1853 he married a second wife, Anastasia Maher, at All Saints Church, New York City, but this marriage seems to have been childless. Frederick died in New York City in April 1874. According to the Appleton biography, his son, Arthur, was initially apprenticed to a sign-painter in New York and worked as such until 1862. He then spent about 10 years working in business in Baltimore before returning to New York, devoting himself to painting and opening a studio in 1875. He spent the year of 1885 in Europe and died soon after his return to the States.
