Fand and Manannan 1913

"Fand and Manannan" is a 1913 painting by Scottish symbolist artist John Duncan (1866-1945). The artwork depicts the Celtic deities Fand and Manannan, a mythical couple from Irish mythology. The figures are depicted in a fantastical landscape, with intricate details and a swirling background, and they are surrounded by a flock of white birds. This scene reflects Duncan’s interest in Celtic folklore and mythology. The use of rich color, decorative elements, and symbolism characteristic of the Symbolist movement are evident in this work.
