Peter Murphy (born 1959) is a British artist working in traditional egg tempera and gold leaf techniques, and a member of the Stuckist art movement.

[1] Peter Murphy was born in Leeds, England, and studied at Jacob Kramer College of Art and the University of East London.

As well as traditional iconic subject matter of saints and madonnas, he has used the same techniques to depict rock heroes, including Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon.

[2] In 2007, Murphy painted twelve "vibrant images"[1] for a new shrine to St. Ethelbert, king and martyr, in Hereford Cathedral, where the saint is buried.

The images, painted in his usual Byzantine technique, tell the story of the saint and are incorporated on a seven-sided wooden structure around a pillar to the east of the high altar.
