About the Item
Louis Bosworth Hurt
British, (1856-1929)
Crossing the Moorland
Oil on canvas, signed & inscribed with title in pencil on the stretcher
Image size: 23.5 inches x 39.25 inches
Size including frame: 31 inches x 46.75 inches
A highly atmospheric painting of Highland Cattle crossing a Scottish moorland with dramatic mountains behind by Louis Bosworth Hurt. Having grazed the higher slopes, the cattle make their way to the lower ground and its refreshing water source.
Louis Bosworth Hurt was born on 20 May, 1856 in Ashbourne, Derbyshire in 1856 to James Roger Hurt, a tailor and woollen draper and Bessie Hurt (née Hall Twells). He was actually christened Louis Bosworth Twells Hurt after his mother’s family, but mostly went by the name Louis Bosworth Hurt. He initially worked as an apprentice draper most likely to his grandfather and father. However, as his talent for painting emerged during his spare time he began taking lessons with the landscape artist George Turner (1843-1910) who lived in nearby Barrow on Trent, along with his son William Lakin Turner (1867-1936). It is not known when Hurt developed an interest in highland cattle, but given that Turner and his son also painted Highland scenes, it seems likely that he was inspired by him and may even have accompanied them on painting trips to Scotland.
By the early 1880’s Hurt had become a full time artist in oils specialising in highland scenes. In 1881, at the age of 24 he began exhibiting at the Royal Academy and also at the Royal Society of British Artists. His work attracted a number of wealthy patrons, gaining him many commissions and he became a successful artist. He married the artist Harriette Marion Bickley on 11 June, 1885 at St John the Baptist church, Woking. His wife also had an interest in highland scenes and exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists. She was from Woking, a considerable distance from Ashbourne so it is possible they met on a painting trip to the Highlands.
Together the couple settled at Ivonbrook, South Darley near Matlock and had 3 children. Their common interests extended to keeping highland cattle at their property, which enabled them to study the animals in more detail. His love of highland cattle meant they were often featured in his work and ultimately, it is these subjects that he is perhaps best known for. As well as continuing to visit the highlands, he also developed a deep connection with North Wales. He kept a cottage in Betws-y-Coed, where he would often go to paint the dramatic views of Snowdonia and the surrounding areas.
Hurt continued to live at Ivonbrook in South Darley until his death on8 December 1929. Examples of his paintings can be found at Nuneaton Museum, Reading Museum, Rotherham Heritage Services, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Shrewsbury Museum.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.

View All19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland cattle at Glen Goil
By William Watson
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
William Watson Jnr
British, (1847-1921)
Up Glen Goil, West Highlands
Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1892, further inscribed verso
Image size: 23.5 inches x 35.5 inches
Size including frame: 36.25 inches x 48.25 inches
This highly atmospheric and well executed painting by William Watson Jnr depicts Highland Cattle watering at Glen Goil. Glen Goil is a valley area of Argyll and Bute in the West Highlands. It is situated at the junction of Hell’s Glen and Gleann Mor and has the river Goil flowing through. Located around 2 miles from Lochgoilhead, it is well known as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Watson made several trips to the Highlands and produced a number of paintings of the locality, many of which included highland cattle such as this fine example. Another painting by him of Glen Goil is held by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s.
As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists.
Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...
