Louis B Hurt Landscape Print

Louis B Hurt framed landscape print. A popular artist, whose work is instantly recognisable, Louis Bosworth Hurt continued the tradition of landscape painting established in the early Victorian period. Queen Victoria’s love of the Highlands of Scotland prompted a vogue for paintings of those regions and this provided a subject Hurt painted his entire life. Hurt actually came from another upland region, the Derbyshire Peak District; during his youth he lived in Ashbourne, later moving to Darley Dale. However, whilst this area must have given him some inspiration for his pictures, he made frequent visits to the Highlands to paint the swirling mists of the highlands and his work is characterised by the highland cattle who feature in his best known paintings.
