Dame Lucienne C. Arthur, 1st Baronetess (1677 AN–1714 AN) was a Meckelnish painter of the Impressionist movement. Notwithstanding her untimely death, she is widely regarded as the most accomplished painter in Meckelnburgh history.
Early life
Lucienne Arthur was born to a family of Alexandrian-speaking artists in Brittnay on 29 Quintile/IX, 1677 AN. Her parents, Marceline and Vincent Arthur, were accomplished muralists in the La Rochelle art scene. Growing up amidst a creative atmosphere, Arthur developed a deep appreciation for the arts, especially painting.
Education
Inspired by the picturesque landscapes of the Meckelnbugh coast on the Northern Sea, Arthur embraced painting as her primary artistic medium. She attended secondary school at the Académie des jeunes pour les arts in Boulonne, Brittnay. Graduating in 1694 AN, Arthur completed a Bachelor and then Master of Fine Arts degrees in art studio at the Royal College for the Arts. She subsequently received an appointment as an instructor of painting at the college's fine arts school.

Career
Royal patronage
In 1704 AN, Arthur received an official royal patronage from Queen Ĉielero III, providing a secure stipend to operate an art studio. In this period, Arthur focused on the built landscapes of Meckelnburgh, including the skyscape of Alexandretta. Arthur was assigned to paint the portrait of the Queen on the 20th anniversary of her reign. She subsequently received a knighthood and made Dame Lucienne in 1706 AN. Arthur had a daughter, Bénédicte, the same year.

The Troubles
Arthur took a sabbatical from her patronage and travelled to Hellistelli in the nation of Jääland in late Mercedone/III, 1707 AN. However, Marche/IV that year began The Troubles. Caught in the midst of the tragedy, Arthur survived the destruction of Hellistelli International Airport while attempting a desperate evacuation with the city residents. Arthur was finally rescued over a year later by Meckelnburgh armed forces in June/VII, 1708 AN as one of the few survivors of Hellistelli.
Deeply troubled by her experience, Arthur resigned her patronage and began her magnum opus over the next four years, the six-painting Hell of Hellistelli. Arthur blamed the Apollonia Command of the Raspur Pact for the horrors she saw on the people of Jääland. Hell of Hellistelli depicted Meckelnburgh as the savor of a people massacred in a frozen wasteland. The work was hailed in Meckelnburgh, where Arthur was elevated to a Baronetess and returned to teaching at the Royal College for the Arts.

Late career
Over the next two years, Arthur used her savings to raise a family and engage in traditional painting subjects. Her projects moved from human movement, architecture and war into natural landscapes. Responding to questions of her artistic focus, one of Arthur's final posts on Tweeter noted "I have seen plenty of mankind."
