In the middle ages, it was known that famous painters were often poisoned when they were invited to festival events or village parties. It was therefore a firm rule that painters never took any food or drinks when they were outside their home. Gustav Klimt's sudden death also raises questions. He died far too early and was unexpectedly torn from life. Unfinished paintings standing on the easel ... Usually sensitive people feel when life is coming to an end and make preparations. Or there is a serious illness. Klimt was in good health and in the middle of life. Of course, at that time there was no way to detect poison when someone had died mysteriously. The city at that time also did not figure that Klimt is a venerable resident of Vienna. He got a ridiculously simple grave in a working-class district. Important people of Vienna got a grave of honor at the Vienna Central Cemetery. When it comes to making money with Klimt's art the people of Vienna speak of great veneration about the artist.

Wonderful how much you can pack into a short video! Despite how over-represented "The Kiss" is, it struck me afresh as marvelous. Klimt really understood beauty -- the mos essential and maligned quality of art -- a could craft an absolutely delicious canvas. Who thought you could combine gold metal with leafy greens to realize such a sumptuous vision?!

Thank you for the hard work.

Odd that me and a friend were talking about him the other day then this. Synchronicity

Has this lady ever had a painting done of her by an artist, because then maybe… in the future… another 2 century’s from now there will be another art channel on their platforms talking about the painting of her. And it’ll be like inception but with art history vids

Enjoyable and enlightening as always! Hoping to get into the Neue Galerie next time I'm in NY to see the Bloch-Bauer portrait. It's a pity some of the other works like the law/medicine/philosophy University paintings didn't survive WWII, would have been awesome to see them in color.

Great videos! 🤩 Thank you for producing them, they are a great way to get an overview of an artists oeuvre! Greetings from Vienna!

Yeah he’s pretty amazing.

I love your channel. I'm an artist trying to work my way out of a ten-year slump, and your videos are a sound reminder of art's necessary place in society. Keep up the good work.

Very informative and extremely well presented. Thank you

I loved watching your video! Succinct and informative. I stumbled onto your channel recently, so I am not sure if you do this in more recent videos, but do you have a place where you compile the research sources you used in your videos? As an art student I think it would be helpful to read further :)

Oh, Rachel...who will do your portrait?

Again, wonderfully comprehensive. I take it (I ask) that the formula one speed of delivery is to pack in as much as poss given a limited time slot? Is it poss - purely a hunch - that G.Klimt was influenced by Faberge too - various designs come to mind - or was that just a matter of osmosis? Anyway, big ta - one addict more to your audience!

Traducir por favor

whats the name of the woman in the water art by hans makart?

シーレは日本語字幕があったのに、なぜクリムトはないのか

Isn't Katze German for "cat?" Did Klimt really name his cat "cat?"

Love the video but you are talking about twice as fast as you could be. Take a breath, savor the words a bit

I'm waiting for the "femi-nazi/future cat ladies" to get on here and trash him.
