Country House at Attersee by another Gustav Klimt is a very colorful painting. At first glance, we don't even have to notice the country house that Klimt painted lost in the whole picture. It is completely overgrown with climbing leaves, so it is very difficult to distinguish it from the green grass around the house. The view of the house is from a colorful blooming meadow surrounded by a few green bushes. The whole work seems very calm and melancholic, after all, like all Klimt's paintings from the Attersee, where he very much liked to go to relax every summer.

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.
