Louis Bosworth Hurt was born in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. He occasionally painted on the Derbyshire moors; however it was the wilderness of the northern Highlands that inspired him. He was famous for his paintings of the Scottish Highlands and his portrayal of highland cattle. He had his own herd of highland cattle but often traveled to Scotland to paint the magnificent backgrounds to his paintings. A prolific painter, Hurt exhibited thirteen paintings from 1881 at the Royal Academy in London and twenty-six at the Royal Society of Artists on Suffolk Street.
