Quiet lake level (Egelsee at Golling, Salzburg)

Egelsee near Golling, here Gustav Klimt created a beautiful and very charming picture of the surface of the lake, in which the tall conifers are reflected in shades of purple. The whole painting creates a mysterious impression, as the view of the lake is captured in the gloom. The view beyond the lake is not revealed to us much, we can only notice the green meadow on the left side of the picture, where there are still the last remnants of sunlight.

On the right side of the picture there is a dense coniferous forest, which casts a dark shadow on the lake. However, the trees cannot be seen in their entirety. Thanks to the fact that Klimt did not capture so much of the background behind the pond, we can only focus on the charming mirror surface.

Prevailing color of this fine art print is vivid and its shape is square. This image is printed on demand - you can choose material, size and finishing.

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.
