I visited many galleries online while looking at Klimt works.
I linked some above and here is another CLICK as well.
The Klimt Golden Paintings received a very wide positive reaction and these were very successful paintings.
These paintings used gold leaf paint.
They include Pallas Athene (1898), Judith I (1901), Goldener Apfelbaum 1903, the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907), and The Kiss (1907-1908).
Was Klimt perhaps inspired by works
from Piero della Francesca (1415 – 1492)?
.
I wondered — I looked — I didn’t find an answer.
They both put a mystical beauty in their works — what do I know?
Klimt’s painting are overall better preserved.
Most of Francesca’s are badly damaged.
The above,
Legend of the Cross
is about the best blog photo
there is of this painting.
