Kneeling Angel, 1893
Designed by J. Harrington-Mann (1864-1937), made by
J. & W. Guthrie.
From Trinity Church, Claremont Street, Glasgow.
Harrington-Mann began his career as a painter
becoming a member of 'The Glasgow Boys' group in the 1880s. He was noted for his
landscape and figure paintings. Some of his stained glass, possessing Art
Nouveau elegance and a sensitive approach to colour, was outstanding.
He began designing for the Guthries in the 1890s. The firm, now called Guthrie
and Wells, continues to operate in Glasgow. Harrington-Mann ended his career in
London as a successful painter of fashionable, if unexceptional, society
portraits.
Inv. No. 1978/3/1 Presented by the Scottish National Orchestra.
