Richard Hurleston

==Life==
Hurlstone may have been born in 1746 in St Martin in the Fields as someone of that name was baptised there on 9 March that year. Hurlstone was born to William and Mary Hurlstone who lived in Lincoln's Inn Fields.〔L. H. Cust, ‘Hurleston, Richard (bap. 1746?, d. in or after 1780)’, rev. J. Desmarais, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 7 Sept 2013 )〕
Hurleston was trained at the Royal Academy starting in 1769 as a result of a "premium" given by the Society of the Arts.〔 Hurlestone became a pupil of Joseph Wright of Derby and he set sail in 1773 with Wright, a pregnant Ann Wright and a fellow artist, John Downman, for Italy. Their ship took shelter for three weeks in Nice before they completed their outward voyage in Livorno in Italy in February 1774. They journeyed on to Rome and Hurlestone was there in 1775 and 1776. In 1776 he also recreated some of the masterpieces in the Uffuzi Gallery in Florence.
Known paintings by him include a portrait of his master Joseph Wright and a 12 x 12 cm painting entitled ''Maria and her Dog'' which is based on the character in the Laurence Sterne novels. A character called Maria appears in both Tristam Shandy'' and ''A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy'' by Sterne. Hurleston's painting of Maria was exhibited in 1780〔 and is now (2013) in the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. That gallery has other paintings based on Laurence Sterne's novels by Joseph Wright. Wright painted a first version of The Captive in Hurlestone's lifetime but the first of his two versions of ''Maria'' was not started until 1781.〔(Portrait of Lady Mary O'Brien, later Countess of Orkney ), Philadelphia Museum of Art, accessed 6 September 2013〕 Other paintings should include those he exhibited at the Royal Academy before he left for Italy.
