Alfred Heaton Cooper
1864–1929

Alfred Heaton Cooper was born in Bolton, winning a scholarship to study art in London. Influenced by Turner, Constable, Millet and the Barbizon School, Alfred was first inspired by painting mountain landscape in Norway before deciding to make the Lake District his home. To earn his living as an artist, Alfred tramped the Lakeland fells painting scenes to appeal to tourists, while his wife Mathilde looked after the studio.
