Artists
- Gustav Klimt
(Baumgarten near Vienna/Vienna 1862–1918 Vienna)
Currently on display at OG4
This painting by Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), which was displayed together with two smaller landscapes at the 7th Secession Exhibition in 1900, was described by art critic Ludwig Hevesi as one of three “delightful atmospheric landscapes.” It was purchased during the exhibition by Fritz Waerndorfer (1868–1939), who would later co-found the Wiener Werkstätte. It is now exhibited at the Leopold Museum as a permanent loan from a private Austrian collection. Its composition shows a remarkably clear structure, dominated by the high horizon and the vertical tree trunk in the center of the painting.
