The picture depicting the church in Cassone was painted by Gustav Klimt in 1913. The whole picture is covered in cold colors, reflected on the surface of the water. At first glance, it may seem that the main dominant feature of the picture is not the already mentioned church, which hides behind tall trees, but rather several houses located below it. The entire view of the church and houses is again, as in Klimt's painting Malcesine , from a greater distance from a ship that is most likely anchored somewhere in the adjacent port.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). As a painter, Klimt represents the best period of Vienna – a time when the works of Sigmund Freud or Mahler were developing, and Vienna was at the very least the Central European centre of culture and education. Klimt’s work combines symbolism and Byzantine features that create the undertone of his Art Nouveau style. Klimt’s images have a special, even anxious, atmosphere that often shows the Freudian idea of ​​erotica in any human movement and action. Klimt paints two-dimensionally, with intense colour while at the same time very gently and with refined dignity. Among Klimt’s famous works are the Water Snakes - two women with stylized, interwoven bodies that evoke the surreal world of fantasy and sensuality. Another masterpiece is Danae, a work inspired by Greek mythology, depicting a girl seized by Zeus, who was turned into a golden rain (Danae later gave birth to Perseus). His paintings often aroused passions and public protests, not only for their content but also for the innovative painting methods - eg. The Girlfriends, an image of two women at a romantic meeting.
