The Mystical Paintings of John Duncan

John Duncan [1866-1945] was born in Dundee, Scotland, the son of a cattle dealer, and was studying at the Dundee School of Art by the age of eleven. He was a great experimenter with techniques and much of his work is in tempera. His subject-matter was rooted in the Celtic Revival and the Pre-Raphaelite tradition, but he also painted ‘straight‘ landscapes. Many regarded him as a mystic, and he confessed to hearing ‘fairy music’ while he painted.~ Source
