About

John Duncan is a Scottish painter known for his contributions to the Celtic Revival and Symbolist movements. His work often features mythological themes, drawing on Celtic legends and medieval history, characterized by intricate detail and a romantic, ethereal quality.

Observations

The style combines finely rendered, painterly figures with dense ornamental surfaces, flowing textiles, floral patterning, and richly layered backgrounds. Saturated jewel tones, graceful poses, decorative linework, and dreamlike mythic imagery give the scenes an elegant illustrated-fantasy character.
