Galerie Mont Pallas Athena – Gustav Klimt^ Klimt

Pallas Athena, a work by Gustav Klimt, belongs to the Symbolist movement and the Vienna Secession. The painting depicts the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, Athena, as a majestic and powerful woman. Here Klimt draws on mythology and classical culture to create a strong and expressive image of this deity.

The central figure of Athena stands in ornate armour and a winged helmet, symbols of her warrior status. Her intense gaze and rigid posture convey her determination and strength. The background of the painting is composed of geometric patterns and stylised forms, typical of Klimt’s style, which reinforce the mysterious and supernatural aspect of the goddess. The colour palette, dominated by gold and silver tones, evokes the richness and brilliance of the divine world, while at the same time emphasising the imposing figure of Athena.
