Adele Bloch-Bauer

#Art #AdeleBlochBauer

The image shows two artworks rich in gold tones. On the left is a portrait of a woman with dark hair styled high, wearing an elaborate golden gown adorned with intricate geometric and organic patterns, including eyes, spirals, and rectangles; she stands against a shimmering gold background in an ornate, stylized composition. On the right is a Byzantine-style mosaic depicting a central figure in dark robes seated on a blue orb, flanked by two angels in white garments, with another figure partially visible; above them is a radiant gold sky with concentric arcs of color and clouds, all rendered in tiny, detailed tesserae.

Gustav Klimt, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) + Basilica of San Vitale, apse mosaic (c.525)

Klimt was inspired by seeing Ravenna’s astonishing mosaics.

That bastard is ‘more than cosmetics’

Shockingly, he went to war with Austria to get his Family Nazi-stolen Art back, the #AdeleBlochBauer
