Galerie Mont The Maiden – Gustav Klimt^ Klimt

The Maiden occupies a special place in the work of Gustav Klimt. Its key theme is the relationship between beauty, youth, mortality and the celebration of young life. Klimt painted it in his last creative period, when the theme of the “femme fatale” gave way to the dreamy sensuality of a young girl. His virtuoso drawing was combined with a stylized planar abbreviation and intense colors. The Virgin sleeps peacefully under a blanket decorated with flowers and spirals. For Klimt, a sleeping person is not responsible for his desires. He depicted an innocent virgin captivated by her sweet and luscious dreams.u0026nbsp;The work is in some ways similar to Danae.
