EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Duncan's exquisite watercolor painting titled "Diana and Actaeon". Measuring 20.3x12.7 cm, this artwork is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. It is a part of a sketchbook labeled with the number 13 on its front cover, containing an impressive collection of 60 sketches and illustrations. In this particular piece, Duncan skillfully depicts the mythological tale of Diana and Actaeon. The scene unfolds by a tranquil pool or lake where Diana, the goddess of hunting and chastity in Greek mythology, has been bathing undisturbed. However, her peaceful moment is abruptly interrupted as Actaeon stumbles upon her unexpectedly. The artist masterfully captures the surprise on both characters' faces – Diana's serene expression turns to shock while Actaeon appears startled by his discovery. Surrounding them are lush forests teeming with deer and hunting dogs that further emphasize their roles as hunter and prey. Through delicate pencil strokes and meticulous attention to detail, Duncan brings this ancient myth to life with remarkable precision. This enchanting artwork not only highlights his artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to his deep understanding of classical mythology. Purchased in 1981 with support from the National Fund for Acquisitions, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers at Dundee Art Galleries and Museums today.
