Description: | The west front of Cremona Cathedral (1274-1606) is a mixture of Lombard Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance, possibly the reason for Mackintosh describing it as "a caution", more likely in amazement than as a warning. He seems, however, to have been undecided about the cathedral's architectural quality. His first impression was that it was "disappointing", but on the following day had decided that it was the only building in the town "worth seeing" ('Diary', 14-15 June). He made a further drawing (Hunterian Art Gallery) of the Tabernacle, attributed to Marco Romano (c. 1310), below the rose window. | Rights holder: | Glasgow School of Art | Subjects: | facades Romanesque Gothic (medieval) Cremona churches Renaissance exterior elevations cathedrals | Temporal: | 15th June 1891 | Source: | Glasgow School of Art | Creator: | Charles Rennie Mackintosh | Identifier: | AN-MSB-36 | Go to resource |
