Calm and confident, Sonja Knips gazes back at us. A baroness by birth, she was one of Gustav Klimt’s most prominent patrons. The artist subtly composed her portrait with great sensitivity, alternating between hazy evocation and precision: Sonja Knips’s face is rendered naturalistically, while her sumptuous tulle gown dissolves in a cascade of soft brushstrokes. Leaning slightly forward, she sits on the edge of an armchair ready to rise at any moment. A red sketchbook in her right hand adds an accent of bright color. This is the first portrait that Klimt painted in a square format. It also marks the start of his rise to become one of the most sought-after portraitists of Viennese society.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3197/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4046/full</schema:image><schema:name>Lady at the Fireplace</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1897/1898</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Gustav Klimt, Editha und Hermann Bauch, Friedrich Stadler-Wolffersgrün, Unbekannter Besitz, Österreichische Galerie, Friedrich Viktor Stadler-Wolffersgrün]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Gustav Klimt</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>
The fashionable young woman sitting by the fireplace is depicted by Gustav Klimt as lost in thought. The dim lighting blurs her silhouette, while the warm glow of the fire is only vaguely discernible. The sitter exudes cosmopolitan sophistication, and her dreamy demeanor is consistent with the melancholy portrayal of women prevalent at the time in literature. The circumstances surrounding the painting’s creation remain unknown. However, anonymous portraits of women were a common theme in Klimt’s work. In this work, rather than characterizing a specific individual, the artist sought to capture a particular perspective on life.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4185/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4120/full</schema:image><schema:name>Francesca da Rimini and Paolo</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1890</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Ernst Klimt]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Ernst Klimt</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10093/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/87121/full</schema:image><schema:name>Still Life with Armor</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1885</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Ernst Klimt]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Ernst Klimt</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas on cardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Das Stillleben stellt zwei Teile einer bislang nicht identifizierten Rüstung dar.

A female organist, dressed in a luxurious blue silk robe, kneels before her instrument. The figure is accompanied by a cittern-playing angel hovering just above her head, as well as a pair of singing cherubs. This sketch was made in preparation for a ceiling fresco for the Municipal Theater in Fiume (Rijeka), which was to be executed the following year by the studio of the Klimt brothers and Franz Matsch. The proposed theme was a cycle of allegories on the various genres of music. Klimt’s design is an allegory of sacred music. The figure’s kneeling posture symbolizes the sanctified aspect and transforms the organ into an altar. The musician’s transfigured gaze toward the heavens is also indicative of this.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/471/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/81709/full</schema:image><schema:name>The Victory of Light over Darkness</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1883-1884</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Hans Makart]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Hans Makart</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Entwurf für das nicht ausgeführte Deckenbild im Stiegenhaus des Kunsthistorischen Museums in Wien. — "Apotheose der Kunst ist im allgemeinen der Gedanke, welcher hier zum Ausdruck kommen soll.

(Anonymus, Ausschmückung, 10.3.1883) In der Neuen Freien Presse vom 4.10.1884 heißt es, Makart habe noch in den letzten Tagen vor seinem Tod an dieser Skizze gemalt. Nach dem Tod Hans Makarts (3. Oktober 1884) erhielt Hans Canon (1829–1885) den Auftrag, das Deckenbild nach seinem eigenen Entwurf  auszuführen doch auch er starb über der Aufgabe. Schließlich schuf Mihály Munkácsy (1844–1900) das riesige Gemälde und vollendete es 1891. — Vgl. auch Wiener Stadtarchiv, 68/3/21. – Bleistiftzeichnung der Quadriga in der Akademie der bildenden Künste, Wien (Inv.-Nr. 26149-24/109). – Radierung von William Unger.

This study of a male nude is one of the earliest known paintings by Gustav Klimt. It is a prime example of academic teaching. Klimt was a student in the decorative painting class at the Imperial and Royal Arts and Crafts School in Vienna and thus had access to academic training as a history painter. Works such as this were not intended to be sold on the art market, but were created as practice pieces. The model is kneeling on plain, stacked wooden crates in an unadorned studio space. With his right hand in a defensive position, the pose is reminiscent of figures found on ancient battle sarcophagi. Klimt thus studied a classical pictorial formula in the most naturalistic way possible.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4742/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/129309/full</schema:image><schema:name>Design for the decoration of the bedroom of Empress Elisabeth in the Hermesvilla (center scene: A Midsummer Night's Dream)</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1882</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Hans Makart]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Hans Makart</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Der Dekorationsentwurf hat den "Sommernachtstraum" nach William Shakespeare zum Thema und bezieht sich auf die Nordwand des Schlafzimmers von Kaiserin Elisabeth (1837–1898) in der Hermesvilla in Wien-Lainz. Rechts ist ein Stück Leinwand mit der Darstellung eines Kandelabers angefügt. Die Jagd- und Sommervilla wurde nach Plänen des Architekten Carl Hasenauer (1833–1886) zwischen 1882 und 1886 errichtet. Makart stellte im Mittelfeld des Entwurfs die Liebespaare Hermia und Lysander sowie Helena und Demetrius dar. Zur Ausführung durch ihn selbst kam es nicht mehr, dies blieb mehreren seiner Schüler und Mitarbeiter vorbehalten, wie Eduard Charlmont (1842–1906), Julius Viktor Berger (1850–1902), dem Dekorationsmaler Pietro Isella (1827–1887) und Carl Rudolf Huber (1839–1896). Letzterer hielt sich an der Nordwand weitgehend an den Entwurf Makarts, ersetzte allerdings das Paar im Zentrum der Komposition durch Titania und Oberon – wahrscheinlich auf Wunsch der Kaiserin. — [Vgl.

Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, is shown wearing a crown of laurels and appears somewhat tipsy. His wife—the king’s daughter Ariadne—leads the wedding party onward, her arm raised in a triumphant gesture. This enormous mythological wedding scene seems intoxicating and this is no coincidence. Hans Makart originally devised this over thirty-seven-square-meter painting as a stage curtain for the recently built Comic Opera in Vienna. However, as the surface was too reflective, it was never actually installed at the theater. The work has been in the Belvedere’s collection since 1921 and when in storage it is rolled up due to its vast scale. Its display requires a large team as equal tension needs to be applied when stretching the work onto the frame. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/7897/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/130172/full</schema:image><schema:name>The Five Senses: Sight</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1872/1879</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Hans Makart]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Hans Makart</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Hearing, Touch, Sight, Smell, and Taste: the Belvedere collection holds Hans Makart’s complete series of paintings depicting the five senses.

The series was commissioned by Baron Joseph Alexander von Helfert for his apartment on Vienna’s prestigious Parkring. Narrow formats were chosen so the paintings could be hung between the windows, although they never actually reached their intended destination.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9526/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/45710/full</schema:image><schema:name>Die scheintote Julia Capulet</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1869</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Hans Makart]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Hans Makart</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Die Darstellung illustriert die 5.
