Baby (Cradle) (1917-1918 CE)
At first glance Gustav Klimt’s Baby (Cradle) does not look like a portrait at all. A pale infant’s face rises from a mountain of quilts, ruffles, and patterned cloth; a small hand appears, then disappears again.
Portrait of Marie Henneberg (1901–1902 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Marie Henneberg is not a picture that happened to find a wall. It was conceived for a specific place: the tall entrance hall of a new villa on Vienna’s Hohe Warte.
Farm Garden with Crucifix (1911-1912 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Farm Garden with Crucifix — in German, Bauerngarten mit Kruzifix — is a square summer landscape in which a rural wayside shrine nearly disappears into flowers.
The Park (1909–1910 CE)
Gustav Klimt painted The Park around 1909–1910 on the landward side of Schloss Kammer beside Lake Attersee.
Upper Austrian Farmhouse (1911 CE)
Upper Austrian Farmhouse, painted in 1911 and also known as Farmhouse in Buchberg, places the viewer under an apple tree so dense that the old house behind it feels half-remembered rather than fully seen.
Avenue in Schloss Kammer Park (1912 CE)
Painted in 1912, the picture places the viewer inside a double row of old linden trees. Their trunks lean and twist; their crowns knit together into a green vault.
Schloss Kammer on the Attersee I (1908-1910 CE)
Gustav Klimt’s Schloss Kammer on the Attersee I, also known as Water Castle or Wasserschloss is an oil painting from 1908–1909 in which a pale castle on Lake Attersee appears.
Island on the Attersee (ca 1901–1902 CE)
The painting shows Litzlberg Island in Austria’s Lake Attersee as seen from the northern shore, looking south. Klimt pushed the horizon so high that the composition is almost nothing but water.
The Sunflower (1907–1908 CE)
On a square canvas a lone sunflower rises at the exact centre, its head slightly inclined, its leaves falling like a cloak over a crowded bed of summer flowers.
