About Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt was born near Vienna in 1862 as the son of a gold engraver. He studied architectural painting on a scholarship at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule from 1876 to 1883. Early in his career, he formed the Künstlercompagnie with his brother Ernst Klimt and Franz von Matsch, painting theater curtains and ceiling murals across Central Europe. Emperor Franz Joseph I awarded Klimt the Gold Cross of Merit in 1888 for his murals in the Vienna Burgtheater.
In 1897, Klimt co-founded the Vienna Secession and served as its first president, breaking away from conservative exhibition halls. For an in-depth account of his life and career, read our guide: Gustav Klimt life and work. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body, often rendered with frank eroticism and symbolic power.
Between 1900 and 1916, Klimt spent his summers at the Attersee in Upper Austria, producing the vast majority of his landscape paintings. Locals called him Waldschrat, or forest demon, because of his working intensity outdoors. Art historians believe he used binoculars or a telescope to flatten landscape space into square compositions.
His Golden Phase drew direct inspiration from trips to Venice and Ravenna, where Byzantine church mosaics influenced his use of gold leaf and intricate ornamentation. Canvases such as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I brought him lasting recognition. Klimt died in Vienna in February 1918 following a stroke and pneumonia, leaving a body of work that continues to draw viewers in galleries worldwide.
