| Title |
Great Princes Affected Great Monuments : George Browne's Molson Mausoleum and its Antecedents
|
| Abstract |
The author discovered that the Molson family's mausoleum in Montreal's Mount Royal Cemetery was designed by the Irish-born George Browne (1811-1885), who had immigrated to Quebec in 1830, and his son John James (1837-1900). The author describes the mausoleum as having dwarf columns in the foreground (miniature versions of the columns Browne designed on the monument for his wife, Anna Marie Jameson, who died in 1859), with vermiculated rustication and sculptural forms. The "Primitive,"and "Neo-Baroque" character of the forms also related to another contemporary work designed by Browne in 1864-66, the Molson's Bank at the corner of St. James and St. Peter streets, Montreal.
