Jurisprudence (1903-1907 CE)
A courtroom without mercy. That is the first impression Jurisprudence still makes, even though the original canvas has been gone for eighty years and survives only in photographs.
Art
An expansive array of artistic creations, including paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects from various eras. These works capture the beauty, emotion, and creativity of artists throughout human history.
Medicine (1898-1907 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Medicine is one of the great missing paintings of European modernism: a vast, unsettling allegory of birth, suffering, eros, and death, painted for the ceremonial hall of the University of Vienna.
Philosophy (1907 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Philosophy is a painting that asks the viewer to look into a universe that does not answer back. On a vast canvas, naked figures drift through a green-blue mist.
Adam and Eve (1918 CE)
Adam and Eve is an unfinished oil painting that is both intimate and monumental. In a tall, narrow canvas, a luminous, full-bodied Eve stands facing the viewer
Portrait of a Lady (1916–1917 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of a Lady, painted in 1916–1917, shows a young woman turning to glance over her shoulder with an expression that feels both intimate and slightly distant.
Posthumous Portrait of Ria Munk III (1917 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Posthumous Portrait of Ria Munk III is a painting that looks, at first glance, like a celebration. A young woman turns toward us with flushed cheeks and a quiet smile.
Portrait of Amalie Zuckerkandl (1914 CE)
A life history he could not have imagined. The portrait of Amalie Zuckerkandl is one of Gustav Klimt's last works left incomplete when he died in 1918.
Portrait of Friederike Maria Beer (1916 CE)
This is Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Friederike Maria Beer, painted in 1916: a late masterpiece in which a living sitter and an invented oriental screen meet on a single plane of color.
Death and Life (1910-1911 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Death and Life (Tod und Leben), a painting that feels less like a finished statement than like a conversation the artist kept having with himself.
