  • When Gustav Klimt died unexpectedly in February 1918, this colorful work was found unfinished on the easel in his studio. At the center of the painting is a young woman in blue, tilting her head dreamily toward the man on the left in the picture. He is surrounded by sensual, intertwined bodies, but he looks only at the woman by his side. There are still many puzzles surrounding this painting. Is Klimt exploring male desire? Or is the painting a symbol of a woman’s journey from child to adult and even to motherhood? Klimt depicted the relationship between man and woman one last time in this large allegorical work. The Bride was only added as the title after the artist’s death.
