Verona, Santa Maria in Organo, study of stallsProduced by Glasgow School of Art, this interactive reproduction of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Northern Italian Sketchbook explores Northern Italy through the eyes of the Scottish architect (1868-1928) during his sketching tour of the Continent in 1891. Sketches from Mackintosh’s notebooks are compared with present-day photographs from the same locations, and his steps are retraced using interactive 19th century Baedeker maps.
