Biography of the artist Gilbert Scott Wright (24 July 1880 – 1958) was an English painter. Like his older brother George Wright, he painted hunting and coaching scenes, as well as horse portraits. Wright was one of a family of seven children, five of whom were professional artists, either principally as painters, or as illustrators. Wright was born in Leeds on 24 July 1880, and baptised on 29 June 1881. His father was George Edward Wright (24 February 1834 – 11 November 1916), an accountant and Elizabeth Scott (c. 1840 – 31 May 1916), the daughter or Thomas Scott (born c. 1804), variously a railway engineer and a commission agent. George Edward and Elizabeth were married on 22 August 1859 in St'' Jude''s Church at Hunslet, Leeds, Yorkshire, England. George Edward Wright and Elizabeth Scott had seven children, five of whom were professional artists, but none of whom has any formal training in art:

He probably learned to paint from his brother George Wright who was twenty years his senior in producing paintings of sporting and coaching scenes for calendars and other work. They collaborated until about 1925. In his early teens Wright fell under the influence of Samuel Edmund Waller, and at the age of 13 began to produce paintings of handsome Georgian gallants, many on horseback, either courting or eloping with their lady loves. In 1900 he exhibited How he won the VC7 at the Royal Academy. The painting was soon purchased by a print publisher, and this led to many commissions.
Wright produced illustrations for a number of publications including a two-page spread of a Lion in the Path for The Graphic in 1910 a two-page colour hunting illustration for the Illustrated London News in 1913, a colour illustration for The Bystander in 1930. He also produced prints for
