tra il 1900-1907 Gustav Klimt fece una serie di dipinti per la decorazione del soffitto dell'Università di Vienna. Consisteva in immagini di filosofia, medicina e legge. Hygieia faceva parte del secondo dipinto creato nel marzo 1901. L'intera immagine era composta da una colonna di personaggi nudi che rappresentavano il fiume della vita. Nella parte inferiore del dipinto c'era Hygieia stessa, che, secondo le leggende greche, era una dea della salute e della purezza. La dea si confronta con lo spettatore con il suo disprezzo e altezzoso, allevato dal suo mento e da uno sguardo imprevedibile. Un serpente dorato si snoda attorno alla sua mano. Il colore d'oro è quello di illustrare l'impressione della sua superiorità in generale. Nel 1945, l'intera serie fu accesa dalle unità SS sfuggenti in modo che non cadesse nelle mani degli alleati.

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.
