Buy waterways and canal art

‍Canal arts have a rich history intertwined with the canal culture itself. The canals of England, with their tranquil waters and picturesque landscapes, have long inspired artists to capture their beauty on canvas and in various art forms.

The history of canal paintings and canal boat art can be traced back to the 18th century when the canals of England were bustling with activity. Artists found solace in the peaceful ambience of the canals, capturing the essence of this unique way of life on their canvases. These paintings often depicted narrowboats gliding through the water, adorned with colourful roses and castles, a symbol of the canal culture. Over the years, canal paintings evolved, reflecting the changing times and styles, but they never lost their charm and nostalgia.

Many canal artists have joined together to form The Guild of Waterways Artists to encourage and promote their work.
