Description: | The monastery of Sant'Agostino was a barracks in the 1890s. Mackintosh drew the west front of its gothic church. Mackintosh's drawing of the untraced cartouche (bottom right) is interestingly captioned Italian'. This may be a comment on the employment of similar Italian-derived motifs on many Glasgow buildings in the late nineteenth century. Mackintosh himself would use a version of this form on the door heads of the Glasgow Art Club (1892-3) and the Tower of the Glasgow Herald Building (1893-4). | Subjects: | Bergamo; churches; Gothic (medieval); exterior elevations; cartouches (ornament); facades; Churches (exteriors) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mackintosh, Charles Rennie | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9282... | Go to resource |
