Description
Gustav Klimt’s Le tre eta della donna (Mother and Child) is a landmark composition by the Austrian and exemplifies the symbolic and allegorical work he was best known for. The work is part of Klimt’s larger 1905 masterpiece, Three Ages of Women. In this relief, a woman holds her daughter, with the youthful beauty and innocence of both expressed by their closed eyes and lack of clothes. Klimt (1862-1918) was an Austrian painter who was known for featuring the female body and casual eroticism. But here, these motifs alude to a larger message about the cycle of life, perhaps influenced by the death of Klimt’s young son Otto three years prior. This carefully crafted reproduction from overstockArt deftly captures this message and will add a thoughtful elegance to any space in your home.
