Darius Joseph MacEgan, also known as "The MacEgan" (he was the last of a line of direct descendants of the chief of clan MacEgan), was born in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. He studied at the School of Art in Dublin and later in London. MacEgan was a regular exhibitor from 1881-1939, at the Royal Hibernian Academy, where he showed approx 85 works, predominantly of Irish subjects. 

In 1916 he adopted the ancient family name 'The MacEgan' (unused since the seventeenth century), around the time of Ireland's Easter Rising.

The Gorry Gallery held a memorial exhibition of his work in 1940
