Gustav Klimt

"The Virgin" is one of Gustav Klimt’s most iconic works, painted in 1913 during the height of his Symbolist period. In it, the Austrian artist portrays a group of intertwined women immersed in a shared dream, draped in a mantle of flowing, vibrant fabrics. The bodies appear to float within a circular universe, which serves as an allegory for the cycle of life and femininity.

According to experts, the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I is the most representative painting of Gustav Klimt’s entire career.
