“Chrismas Rose” Mackintosh Print

This stunning Duille fine art print features ‘Chrismas Rose’ (Helleborus Niger) drawn in pencil by Charles Rennie Mackintosh around 1895 in Glasgow. This early botanical work from Mackintosh is full of carefully observed detail, vitality and charm. Here the work is reproduced in high resolution. This is a museum-quality archival print made using materials which will last for many years.

About the work
The sketch is from a collection rediscovered in the National Library of Ireland and was made in Glasgow when Mackintosh was around 25 years old. This was a time when he was just beginning his professional life and emerging from his student years. One of a series taken from his personal private sketchbook it gives a beautiful insight to his growth as an artist and his fascination with plants and growing things. Helleborus Niger known often as Christmas Rose is a popular evergreen hellebore that flowers in winter time with bright off-white foliage and yellow stamens. It’s a popular seasonal favourite in Britain around Christmas time into early spring. Given this it seems likely that Mackintosh’s sketch would have been made at this time of year and he stylishly records the details of the flower during the phases of its development. Interestingly the drawing is labelled ‘Chrismas Rose’. This is one of several examples that have lead some scholars to suggest that the artist showed some signs of dyslexia in his writings.

A fascinating drawing to add to your collection; it would also make a perfect gift.
