"The Riders of the Sidhe" is a painting by Scottish artist John Duncan, created in 1911. This work is one of Duncan's most celebrated pieces and is often regarded as a masterpiece of the Celtic Revival in visual arts, which sought to rediscover and celebrate the myths, legends, and artistic styles of the ancient Celtic cultures. The painting is imbued with symbolic elements and references to Celtic mythology, depicting a group of Sidhe, or fairy folk, from Irish and Scottish folklore, riding on horseback.

The composition of "The Riders of the Sidhe" is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and ethereal figures, which are hallmarks of Duncan's style. The riders are portrayed as noble and otherworldly beings, clad in elaborate garments and armor, with a sense of motion and mysticism that captures the viewer's imagination. The background of the painting features a stylized landscape that further enhances the magical and timeless quality of the scene.

John Duncan was a prominent figure in the Celtic Revival, and his work was heavily influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. "The Riders of the Sidhe" reflects Duncan's deep engagement with Celtic heritage and his desire to evoke the spiritual and cultural essence of the Celtic peoples through his art. The painting is not only a visual representation of myth but also serves as a testament to the early 20th-century interest in national identity and the reclamation of folklore as a source of artistic inspiration.

Today, "The Riders of the Sidhe" is considered an iconic image within the context of Scottish art and the broader Celtic Revival. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical skill, its rich symbolism, and its contribution to the cultural renaissance of Celtic traditions in the modern era. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing it to be accessed and appreciated by audiences who are interested in the intersections of art, mythology, and cultural history.
