Charles John Arter, a native of Hanoverton, Ohio, was the son of a farmer.

He then moved to Paris to study under Gustave Boulanger and Jules-Joseph Lefebvre at the Académie Julian, which trained many American artists.

In 1888, he exhibited Intérieur: Picardie at the Salon, followed by Lettre d'amour and Brasero in 1890. The following year, he presented Sortie de la messe à Scheveningen.

Arter then set up studios in Venice, London and New York. He spent twelve summers in Italy and devoted himself to depicting both Venetian and Japanese scenes.
