Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d’art. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. In addition to his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.

“I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing – ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do.”

Gustav Klimt

Three Graces – Michelangelo Affreschi

Three sister goddesses: Aglaia (brilliance) , Euphrosyne (joy), and Thalia (bloom), presiding over all beauty and charm in nature and humanity. They are the subject of many famous poems and paintings, the original of which is hanging in the Louvre in Paris, France.

This fresco, from Pompeii and precisely from the house of Titus Dentatus Panthera, shows us the typical representation of the three goddesses depicted dancing with their arms upwards in a pose that unites them with extreme grace. The three sisters, daughters of Zeus and Eurinome, depict the different aspects of feminine charm: joy, splendor and prosperity. One of them is depicted from behind to the observer, the other two in front.
