Arnold studied at the Royal College of Chemnitz and the Dresden Academy under Gottfried Semper and Gustav Heine (1802-1880). For several years he worked as Semper's assistant, who, among other things, employed him as a construction manager for the Oppenheim City Palace, which was built from 1845 to 1848 . Arnold completed his studies in 1849 with the Grand Academic State Prize, which was combined with a travel grant. Educational trips to Italy , France and Belgium followed from 1850 to 1852 . From 1856 to 1857 his work The Ducal Palace of Urbino was published , measured, drawn and edited by Friedrich A. , who "made him very well known".

After his return, Arnold worked at the Dresden Academy, initially as the third teacher for architecture and building science, and from 1861 to 1885 as professor for perspective and ornamentation. Hermann Viehweger was one of his students .

In 1859 the Villa Souchay was built in Dresden according to his plans, today's Schloss Eckberg .

Arnold was soon considered to be the "author of several very praiseworthy designs for churches and other buildings in the Gothic style", so that in 1860 he became a committee member of the Association for Church Art in Saxony . About 15  village churches in Saxony come from him. In 1864 he was given the job of rebuilding the Dresden Sophienkirche , the only Gothic church in the city.

Arnold died in Dresden before the Friedenskirche in Dresden-Löbtau was completed . He was buried in the Trinity cemetery, his grave has not been preserved.
