Description: | RH CRE WALTON, Edward Arthur; (Scottish; 1860-1922) In 1899, the City of Glasgow commissioned Walton, Lavery, Henry and Roche to design murals for the walls of its newly built City Chambers Banqueting Hall. Together with Burial of Fergus (glaha 43308), Building of Glasgow Cathedral is a rejected design for Glasgow City Chambers. Both of Walton's subjects echo mural subjects recently depicted by the French mural painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) in Paris, where values from a past "Golden Age" were highlighted as examples to follow in the present. The "triptych" look of both designs reflected the presence of pilasters in front of the murals. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | INTERIOR : BUILDING : RELIGION : CHURCH : GLASGOW : SCOTLAND : GLASGOW BOY : GLASGOW BOY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
