class="R5VDUc" data-language="en" data-target-language="en">

The Virgin occupies a special place in Klimt’s oeuvre. It has a key Secession theme as its motif – the relationship between beauty and ephemerality, youth and mortality, the celebration of young life and the phenomenon of a woman’s existence. Klimt painted it in his later creative period, when the theme of the “femme fatale” gave way to the dream-like sensuality of a young girl. His virtuoso drawing was combined with stylized planary abbreviation and rapidly applied intense colours. The Virgin is imbued with one of the finest expressions of Klimt’s eroticism. The girl sleeps peacefully under a blanket ornamented with flowers and spirals. To Klimt, someone asleep is not responsible for their desires. He therefore depicted an innocent virgin held captive by her sweet and luscious dreams. The 1913 painting Virgin was a special acquisition from the exhibition organized by the Deutschböhmischer Künstlerbund at the Rudolfinum Gallery in Prague in January and February 1914, where eleven paintings and a set of drawings by Klimt were displayed. As its price was high – 26,000 crowns – Baron F. Wiesner, the Modern Gallery’s representative, negotiated with Klimt. In the end, the Gallery purchased the picture for 20,000 crowns in 1914, a year after it was painted.

Klimt

Gustav Klimt was a controversial Austrian symbolist painter during his time. Klimt’s main subject in his work was the female body and the beauty of femininity. Art community heavily criticized his art for being too sensual and erotic. Today, they’ve proven to be some of the most memorable paintings ever to emerge from the Vienna Secession movement. He furthered and advocated for the Art Nouveau movement (also known as Jugendstil in Germany). Eventually, he remains one of the most talented decorative painters of the 20th century. Klimt’s “Golden Phase” is quite possibly his most widely recognized period of art. This period emerged following positive reactions to his work and some financial success. The Golden Phase period included a large variety of paintings created with gold leaf in their production. Many of his works during this time, were very popular due to, in part, this utilization of gold with paint. While Klimt never saw much merit or fame from his work during his life, he has reached immortality in death and has greatly influenced the art community after his passing. Musart is proud to showcase the work of such a genius pioneer, who was incredibly important to the ongoing conversation of the art community as a whole.
