is a captivating and enchanting masterpiece that transports viewers into a realm of mythological wonder. Painted by John Duncan in tempera, this stunning artwork measures 114.3x175.2 cm and is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness the ethereal Riders of the Sidhe galloping along a rugged coastline. Bathed in golden light, these mystical creatures embody the Celtic revival movement with their otherworldly beauty and symbolism. With crowns adorning their heads and armoured bodies gleaming with gold, they exude an aura of regality and power. As they ride upon white horses through arches formed by towering rocks, birds soar above them while wild animals watch from afar.
