Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864–1933) was a Scottish artist and designer, best known for her vital role in the development of the Glasgow Style and the Art Nouveau movement. Born in Tipton, England, she moved to Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art, where she met her sister Frances Macdonald and future husband, architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Together with Frances and Herbert MacNair, the group became known as “The Four,” creating distinctive and symbolic artworks that challenged Victorian aesthetics.
Margaret’s work encompassed metalwork, textiles, embroidery, watercolor, and gesso panels. Her style combined elongated figures, floral motifs, and mystical themes, often inspired by Celtic imagery, literature, and mythology. Her gesso panels—such as The May Queen and The Seven Princesses—are among her most celebrated works, marked by dreamlike elegance and a refined sense of decorative harmony.
