Island on the Attersee (ca 1901–1902 CE)

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.
Pear Tree (1903 CE)
A pear tree in full bloom nearly swallows the canvas. Up close it looks like a carpet of green, gold, lavender, and rose; step back, and the dabs resolve into leaves, blossoms, and fruit hanging in a dense canopy.
Beech Grove I (1902–1903 CE)
Beech Grove I, painted around 1902, shows a stand of young beeches so tightly framed that the forest never quite opens. There is almost no sky and no path.

At Lake Attersee (1900 CE)
In the summer of 1900 Gustav Klimt pointed his gaze at Lake Attersee and painted almost nothing else. The resulting picture is known as At Lake Attersee or Am Attersee.
Sower at Sunset (1888 CE)

The Garden at the Asylum at Saint-Rémy (1889 CE)
In May 1889, Vincent van Gogh painted a remarkable view of the the Garden at the asylum. Thick brushstrokes transform what could have been a sad or restricted setting into something full of life..
The Siesta (1891 CE)
Painted in late 1889 and early 1890, The Siesta (also known as La Méridienne or La Sieste) is not a quiet copy of an earlier work. It is a bold explosion of complementary colors and expressive brushstrokes.
