The Virgin by Gustav Klimt
The Virgin places a sleeping young woman at the centre of a swirling, jewel-toned mass of entangled female figures — an allegory of youth on the threshold of experience. Klimt arranges the composition so that the central figure is both protected and encircled, her white form a quiet anchor within an almost hallucinatory field of colour and pattern. Painted in 1913, the work bridges his ornamental peak and the looser, more expressively coloured paintings of his final years, combining both with rare compositional ambition.
Printed in our Berlin studio on archival cotton canvas, this canvas art print renders the painting's layered colour and swirling pattern with depth and warmth. The woven surface gives the work a tactile presence that heightens its dreamlike, enveloping quality.
