He was regarded by many of his contemporaries as a mystic, a belief reinforced by his admission that he heard 'fairy music' whilst he painted. He was married, unsuccessfully, to a lady who believed she had discovered the Holy Grail in a well in Glastonbury.

We offer two beautiful counted cross stitch designs based on the work of John Duncan, both available as kits or pattern packs.
