One of the most famous names to emerge from Glasgow, Charles Rennie Mackintosh came from a working-class background in the city to eventually achieve worldwide acclaim.
The pioneering Glaswegian designer, artist and architect was born in the Townhead area of Glasgow in 1868, before beginning his working life as an apprentice and spending his evenings studying at the Glasgow School of Art.
He and his wife, and fellow artist, Margaret Macdonald, would go on to make their mark on the city of their birth as well as win acclaim in places further afield such as London, continental Europe and New York - though sadly, as with many artists, the greater part of their fame happened after their lifetimes.
