Art & Design 2day highlights the enduring connection between historical masterpieces and modern creativity. In this issue, we feature Robert S. Duncanson’s Loch Long (1867), a masterful depiction of Scotland’s rugged beauty. With its tranquil atmosphere and harmonious composition, the painting reflects Duncanson’s Romantic vision, blending the majesty of nature with subtle human presence. The glistening waters of Loch Long, framed by distant misty mountains, evoke a timeless sense of serenity and wonder.
Robert S. Duncanson, a pioneering African American landscape painter, created Loch Long in 1867 during his European travels. Painted with oil on canvas and measuring 7 x 11 7⁄8 inches (17.7 x 30.3 cm), the work captures the peaceful grandeur of Scotland’s Loch Long. The composition includes a male figure, a child, and grazing cattle, adding a narrative of pastoral life to the breathtaking landscape. Drawing from both the Hudson River School’s ideals and European Romanticism, Duncanson achieves a poetic balance of realism and emotion. The painting is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection, a gift from Donald J. Shein, and is displayed on the 3rd Floor of the Luce Foundation Center.
Inspired by Robert S. Duncanson’s Loch Long, this art-derived collection brings the serenity and elegance of Romantic landscapes into functional design. Products such as golf and ping pong balls, window and shower curtains, wall clocks, lamps, tote bags, tee shirts, incorporate the painting’s soft color palette and natural motifs. Perfect for luxury interiors in 5-star hotels, private jets, cruise vessels and superyachts, or refined residential or corporate spaces, these designs transform everyday objects into reflections of artistic sophistication and timeless beauty.
Incorporating art into design elevates the everyday, transforming ordinary objects into expressions of culture and refinement. Inspired by Loch Long, our collection allows the enduring legacy of Duncanson’s Romantic landscapes to enrich modern spaces. Through these products, we honor the beauty of natural harmony and provide a way to live with art, blending Duncanson’s vision of tranquility with practical elegance.
