Edward Henry Eugene Fletcher was a marine artist who was born in London in 1857.

Fletcher initially enlisted in the Army Hospital Corp, serving in Nova Scotia but was invalided out in 1882 at the age of 24 due to an eye condition. He continued to paint in his spare time and undoubtedly his travels would have inspired his subject matter and given him a deeper knowledge of shipping and the sea.

Much of Fletcher's work consisted of views of the river Thames or ships in harbors with all its bustling activity. His style is impressionistic and he uses bold layers of paint to give the picture its dramatic effect.
