Louis B Hurt (1856 – 1929)

Louis B Hurt was a 19th Century artist who achieved great success by painting subject matter with which he felt a great affinity.

Born in Ashbourne, Derbyshire in 1856, he studied art under George Turner of Barrow-on-Trent. His inspiration, however, came from Highland landscapes in particular and, after exhibiting at the Royal Academy, he had built himself a reputation as a fine painter of Highland scenes and cattle.

Hurt died in 1929.
