Gold, flowers and feminine beauty.
The fascinating universe of Gustav Klimt
The enduring popularity of Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) testifies not only to the unique appeal of his exuberant painting, but also to the universal themes he worked with: love, feminine beauty, the passage of time , and death .

Klimt, the son of a goldsmith, created surfaces of an ornate luminosity similar to that of a precious stone, a quality often found in Japanese and Egyptian art. His paintings, murals, and friezes are characterized by radiant color, fluid lines, floral elements, and mosaic-like patterns .

It addresses numerous themes, including sensuality and desire as well as restlessness and despair, in which all that iridescence is also charged with emotion. His countless images of women with voluptuous figures, delicate skin, crimson lips, and rosy cheeks exuded passion at a time when such overt eroticism was still taboo for Viennese upper-middle-class society.
