Gustav Klimt, born July 14, 1862, was an Austrian Symbolist painter. His paintings, sketches, and murals are marked by frank eroticism, and his primary subject was the female body. In 1892, Klimt’s father and two of his brothers passed away, and he became responsible for their families. The tragedy influenced his artistic maturity, helping him to develop his own style.
