Charles Rennie Mackintosh

The Music Room at House for an Art Lover

 

Glasgow’s most famous artistic son is Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and his art nouveau architectural treasures can be found throughout the city. Born in 1868, Mackintosh was part of a pioneering group of aesthetes who founded the ‘Glasgow Style’.

 

His masterpiece is the iconic Glasgow School of Art (1897-1909 pictured below), but other stunning buildings also survive, such as Scotland Street School and the Willow Tea Rooms.

 

Mackintosh’s House for An Art Lover  (pictured above) was recreated in Bellahouston Park, and the interior of his home from 1906-1914 has been reconstructed in the University of Glasgow’s Hunterian Art Gallery.
