EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Boy and Angel" artist John Duncan takes us on a journey into the realm of folklore and mysticism. The print, measuring 13.2x8.7 cm, is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The scene depicts two figures at the heart of a rural landscape, representing the innocence and purity often associated with young boys. A perplexed boy scratches his head while standing beside an angelic messenger adorned with wings. Duncan's masterful use of etching techniques brings out intricate details in both characters' expressions and clothing. The British Scottish artist captures a moment frozen in time—a crossroads where confusion meets divine intervention. The countryside setting adds to the enchantment of this artwork, transporting viewers to a simpler era when nature played an integral role in daily life. As we gaze upon this print from the 19th century, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us to our roots. "Boy and Angel" invites contemplation about faith, destiny, and the power of belief through its symbolic imagery. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with uncertainty or bewilderment like the scratching boy before us, there may be unseen forces guiding our paths. This ethereal etching by John Duncan continues to captivate audiences today as it did during its creation over a century ago—its timeless beauty resonating across generations.
