Hand painted oil reproduction of a famous Klimt painting, Schloss Kammer on Attersee. Today it has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection. Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most innovative and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. Influenced by European avant-garde movements represented in the annual Secession exhibitions, Klimts mature style combines richly decorative surface patterning with complex symbolism and allegory, often with overtly erotic content.
