Two slender figures reach toward a knight in gleaming gold armor
Gustav Klimt — The Suffering of Weak Mankind (Beethoven Frieze) | Fine Art Print
Note: Framed prints require slightly longer production time
Two slender figures, drawn in thin colored outline against a bare grey ground, stand and kneel at left; one reaches an arm toward a knight in gold armor patterned with a lattice of triangles and circles. The knight grips a long sword point down. Behind his shoulder, two women's heads appear — one raising a green wreath, the other pressing a hand to her face beneath loose auburn hair. Part of the Beethoven Frieze.
Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was the leading figure of the Vienna Secession, which he co-founded in 1897. His golden period portraits and allegories — The Kiss, the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the Beethoven Frieze — combine mosaic-like ornament and gold leaf with an unflinching treatment of the body, and his square landscapes of the Attersee are among the most serene paintings of the era. His works are held by the Belvedere in Vienna, the Neue Galerie in New York and the Leopold Museum.
