Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Italy

Meer over het boek

In 1890 the 22 year old Charles Rennie Mackintosh won the Alexander Thompson Travelling Studentship which enabled young architects to make a three-month tour to study Ancient Classic Architecture. Mackintosh's chosen tour of Italy is one of the best-documented periods of his career in terms of primary sources as he kept a diary which forms the basis of the book's narrative. This new book is illustrated with his drawings, sketches, watercolours from the tour as well as contemporary photographs. It includes a full listing of the 200 or so CRM sketches etc. from the tour.
