- Duncan James Corrowr Grant (21 January 1885 – 8 May 1978) was a Scottish painter and member of the Bloomsbury Group. He was a cousin of John Grant, Lord Huntingtower and grandson of the second Sir John Peter Grant . Grant was born in Rothiemurchus in northern Scotland and studied art at the Slade School and in Italy and Paris. He was a cousin, and for some time a lover, of Lytton Strachey. Through the Stracheys, Duncan was introduced to the Bloomsbury Group, where John Maynard Keynes became another of his lovers. Grant is best known for his painting style, which developed in the wake of French post-impressionist exhibitions mounted in London in 1910. He often worked with, and was influenced by, another member of the group, Roger Fry. As well as painting landscapes and portraits, Fry designed textiles and ceramics. After Fry founded the Omega workshops in 1913, Grant became co-director with Vanessa Bell, who was then involved with Fry. Although Grant had always been actively homosexual, a relationship with Vanessa blossomed, which was both creative and personal, and he eventually moved in with her and her two sons by her husband Clive Bell. In 1916, in support of his application for recognition as a conscientious objector, Grant joined with his new lover, David Garnett, in setting up as fruit farmers in Suffolk. Both their applications were initially unsuccessful, but eventually the Central Tribunal agreed to recognise them on condition of their finding more appropriate premises. Vanessa Bell found the house named Charleston near Firle in Sussex. Relationships with Clive Bell remained amicable, and Bell stayed with them for long periods fairly often -- sometimes accompanied by his own mistress, Mary Hutchinson. Vanessa very much wanted a child by Duncan, and became pregnant in the spring of 1918. Although it is generally assumed that Duncan's sexual relations with Vanessa ended in the months before Angelica was born (Christmas, 1918), they continued to live together for more than forty years. Living with Vanessa was apparently no impediment to Duncan's relationships with men, either before or after Angelica was born. (Angelica grew up believing that Clive Bell was her father; she bore his surname and his behaviour toward her never indicated otherwise. ) Duncan and Vanessa had an open relationship, although she herself apparently never took advantage of this after settling down with him and giving birth to their daughter. Duncan, in contrast, had many physical affairs and several serious relationships with other men, most notably David Garnett. His love and respect for Vanessa, however, kept him with her until her death in 1961. In Grant's later years, the poet Paul Roche (1916-2007), whom he had known since 1946, took care of him and enabled Grant to maintain his accustomed way of life at Charleston for many years. Roche was made co-heir of Grant's estate. Grant eventually died in Roche's home in 1978. Duncan Grant's remains are buried beside Vanessa Bell's in the churchyard of St. Peter's Church, West Firle, East Sussex.

- Duncan James Corrowr Grant (21 de enero de 1885 - 9 de Mayo 1978) fue un pintor escocés, miembro del denominado Grupo de Bloomsbury. Grant nació en la localidad de Rothiemurchus, cerca de Inverness, y estudió arte en el Slade School, así como en Italia y París. Era primo de Lytton Strachey y a través de su círculo, Duncan entró a formar parte del Grupo de Bloomsbury, donde Maynard Keynes se convirtió en uno de sus amantes. Aunque era conocida la tendencia homosexual de Duncan, ello no le impidió tener más tarde una relación sentimental con Vanessa Bell, viviendo con ella y sus dos hijos desde antes del comienzo de la Primera Guerra Mundial. En 1916 se mudaron a la localidad de Firle, en el condado de Sussex, donde pintaron y decoraron su casa con sus propias pinturas. En 1918 Duncan y Vanessa tuvieron una hija a la que llamaron Angélica, y continuaron viviendo juntos hasta la muerte de Vanessa en 1961, permaneciendo Duncan en la casa Charleston hasta poco antes de su muerte, acaecida en 1978. En su obra pictórica Duncan Grant recibió la influencia de otro miembro del Grupo de Bloomsbury, Roger Fry, y al igual que éste, pintó paisajes y retratos. En sus últimos años Grant, recibió los cuidados y atenciones de su buen amigo y poeta Paul Roche, a quien conoció en 1946. Duncan Grant está enterrado junto a Vanessa Bell en el cementerio de la iglesia de Saint Peter, en Firle, condado de Sussex.

- Cugino di John Grant, Lord Huntingtower e nipote del secondo Sir John Peter Grant. Grant nacque a Rothiemurchus nel nord della Scozia e studiò arte presso la Slade School, successivamente in Italia e a Parigi. Cugino e, per qualche tempo, anche amante dello scrittore Lytton Strachey, fu introdotto da quest'ultimo nel Gruppo di Bloomsbury. Grant divenne noto per il suo stile di pittura sviluppatosi sulla scia della corrente post-impressionista francese diffusasi a Londra nel 1910. Lavorò sovente con Roger Fry, un progettista tessile e di ceramiche. In seguito Grant divenne co-direttore del gruppo insieme a Vanessa Bell. Pur attivo e dichiarato omosessuale, ebbe una lunga e affettuosa relazione con Vanessa, dalla quale nacque la Angelica Bell. Sposata a Clive Bell e già madre di due figli, Vanessa aveva con il marito un rapporto molto aperto tanto che Clive riconobbe Angelica come sua figlia. Vanessa e Duncan vissero a lungo in una casa quasi idilliaca chiamata Charleston vicino Firle, nel Sussex dove venne ospitato anche il Bloomsbury Group. Duncan fu il grande amore di Vanessa, la quale, avendo sviluppato con lui solo una relazione platonica e intellettuale, lo rese co-proprietario di Charleston in modo da garantirgli una totale libertà intellettuale. Il dolore e il costo di questa coraggiosa decisione è ricordato nel romanzo di Angelica, Ingannati con gentilezza. Duncan, al contrario seppur legato profondamente a vanessa fino alla di lei morte 1961, ebbe numerose relazioni omosessuali come quella con George Bergen. Negli ultimi anni di vita di Grant il poeta Paul Roche, conosciuto nel 1946, si prese cura di lui e gli permise di mantenere le sue abitudini di vita a Charleston per molti anni. In cambio, Roche fu co-erede dei suoi beni immobiliari. Grant infine morì nel 1978 a 93 anni d'età e fu seppellito accanto a Vanessa Bell nel sagrato della Chiesa di San Pietro, West Firle, East Sussex.
