About the Item
The Highlands
By British artist, Andrew Grant Kurtis, Late 20th Century
Signed by the artist on the lower left hand corner
Oil painting on canvas, framed
Framed size: 14.5 x 12 inches
Wonderful depiction of the Scottish Highlands. This scenic landscape completely transports you to this blustery edge, although the water looks very still and peaceful, it will most likely be an energetic walk to get to this spot.
The artist, Andrew Grant Kurtis has always shown a great love for the arts, and thus pursued formal education in the subject from an early age. He began his studies with a City and Guilds Diploma in industry before going on to study at the Technical College in London, where he obtained a Licentiateship to the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers. He then continued his education in Graphic Design and History of Art at the Central School of Art and Design, successfully completing a Bachelor of Design degree with honours. Still reaching higher, Andrew went on to complete his postgraduate studies, and in 1977, attained a Master of Arts.
After his education, Andrew knew he wanted to develop his work in a more classical and traditional way. In the literal sense, he does this by carefully preparing his own pigments and mediums by hand, thus maintaining the science and craftmanship of the oil painting tradition. He then expertly weaves this unique ensemble of pure, graduating colours and rich tones to give his paintings a sense of solitude and tranquillity. No matter his subject, Andrew applies a disciplined depth and thoroughness to each of his paintings.
Over the years, Andrew has produced work within a range of genres, including equestrian, architectural, marine and landscapes. However, it was the landscapes that ultimately captured Andrew’s passion. He is particularly drawn to the mountainous regions of Scotland, Wales and the Lake District, and travels there extensively to gain reference and inspiration for his work.
Andrew’s unique style has brought him great success as an artist. His work has been specially commissioned by publishers for greeting cards and prints, and can be found in leading galleries and private collections around the world.

- Enormous 19th Century British Sporting Horses & Hounds Hunting Oil PaintingBy Charles Augustus Henry LutyensLocated in London, GBCharles Augustus Henry LUTYENS (1829 – 1915, British) On the Scent c.1880 Unframed 50 x 84 inches Framed 64 x 98 inches Oil on Canvas Signed Provenance: Possibly commissioned by George William Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry (1838-1930); thence by family descent; Croome Court House Sale, Worcestershire 1948 Lord Coventry was a keen huntsman having founded the North Cotswold Hunt in 1867 and in 1882 The Croome. Besides founding two Hunts, he also held the unique distinction of owning racehorses that won two Grand Nationals in consecutive years. Daphne Moore, the hunting correspondent writing about the Croome Hounds c.1950, emphasised the influence of Rambler as a perfect type of hound. ‘Who could have dreamed that in 1949 well-bred hounds in almost every kennel in England would have at least a trace of Rambler’s blood in their veins?’ … to the hound man The Croome and the name Coventry immediately recalls Rambler. Anyone who has seen his portrait by Lutyens, will remember him as being the perfect type of hound for any country…’ Charles Lutyens the artist spent his early adult life in the Army, joining the 20th foot and siled with them in 1850 to serve in Canada.

- Cattle Watering in a Landscape - British 19th century art Victorian oil paintingBy Samuel BoughLocated in London, GBThis lovely British Victorian landscape oil painting is attributed to noted artist Sam Bough. It was painted circa 1855 after Bough had moved to Hamilton Lanarkshire in Scotland to focus on painting landscapes along side fellow artist Alexander Frazer. The composition is several cattle watering in a stream under the boughs of an ancient tree. There is superb impasto, for example on the clouds and this is a charming 19th century oil painting. Provenance. London estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 29 inches by 16 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt Victorian frame, 36 inches by 23 inches framed and in good condition. Samuel Bough RSA (1822–1878) was an English-born landscape painter who spent much of his career working in Scotland. He was born the third of five children in Abbey Street, Carlisle in northern England, the son of James Bough (1794-1845), a shoemaker, and Lucy Walker, a cook. He was raised in relative poverty, but with a keen encouragement in the arts. He was self-taught but mixed with local artists such as Richard Harrington and George Sheffield, and was strongly influenced by the work of Turner. After an unsuccessful attempt to live as an artist in Carlisle he obtained a job and as a theatre scenery painter in Manchester in 1845, later also working in Glasgow in the same role. Encouraged by Daniel Macnee to take up landscape painting he moved to Hamilton from 1851-4 and worked there with Alexander Fraser. In 1854 he moved to Port Glasgow to work on his technique of painting ships and harbours. His paintings were noted for their sensitivity to atmosphere and light, were often of cloudy shorelines and busy harbours. He also began supplementing his income by illustrating books, before moving to Edinburgh in 1855. On coming to Edinburgh he lived in a terraced house at 5 Malta Terrace in the Stockbridge area of the city. Following Turner's example, he became a skilful painter of seaports. He was buried in Dean Cemetery Edinburgh on 23 November 1878. The grave bears a bronze medallion of his head by William Brodie...Category
