The film "Woman in Gold" (2015), directed by Simon Curtis, tells the story of Maria Altmann’s struggle to recover Klimt’s "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I," which had been seized by the Nazis.
In 2006, it became the most expensive painting in the world for four months, reaching 135 million dollars. It was purchased by New York’s Neue Galerie, where the painting remains to this day.
According to experts, the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I is the most representative painting of Gustav Klimt’s entire career. It was painted during the so-called "Golden Period," when the artist created numerous works using gold. This painting took three years to complete (finished in 1907), reflecting Klimt’s great dedication and appreciation for it.

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was an Austrian painter whose work marked a turning point in the history of European art. In his early years, he trained within the Viennese academic tradition, developing an eclectic and meticulous style with a strong interest in historical and allegorical themes. However, his personal quest led him to break away from academic conventions and become one of the central figures of the movement that would define artistic modernity at the turn of the century: Modernism (Art Nouveau).
