Discover Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), the Austrian Symbolist master of Art Nouveau! Explore his iconic 'Golden Phase,' sensual portraits, and masterpieces like *The Kiss*. Learn about his life, influences & legacy.
From 1900, alongside allegories and portraits, Klimt discovered landscapes to be a preferred theme for his paintings. The tradition of staying in Salzkammergut each summer was extremely helpful in creating these landscape paintings. Klimt traveled to the Attersee each year for a few weeks in July and August in the company of his life partner Emilie Flöge and her family. The charming summer landscape on the lake shore provided the master artist with countless motifs for his landscape paintings. In addition, Klimt also had plenty of time for hikes and excursions. Emilie Flöge, who ran a highly successful fashion salon in Vienna together with her sisters, also showed off some of her self-designed fashion creations on the Attersee.
