Strangle thy sins (pen & ink)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of John Duncan. Measuring 20.3x12.7 cm, this artwork is housed in The McManus, Dundee, UK and forms part of a sketchbook labeled with the number 13 on its front cover. Within this sketchbook are 60 sketches and illustrations by Duncan, including writings on tempera paint and artists like Botticelli. The image itself depicts a powerful scene filled with fight, conflict, and confrontation. Two figures fiercely confront each other in an intense battle scene that captures the essence of human struggle against sin. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every aspect of this clash - from the physicality of wrestling snakes to the determination etched onto their faces. Duncan's skillful use of pen and ink brings depth to this black and white composition while adding an element of rawness to it. His ability to capture rocky landscapes alongside these entangled figures adds further complexity to the narrative portrayed. This artwork not only reflects British culture but also explores universal themes such as temptation, redemption, and inner turmoil. Through his masterful strokes, Duncan invites viewers into a world where man grapples with his own demons in order to overcome them. "Strangle thy sins (pen & ink)" stands as a testament to John Duncan's talent as well as his contribution to Scottish art during the late nineteenth century.
