The Maiden

The Maiden

Gustav Klimt
1913. 190 × 200 cm. National Gallery Prague, Prague, Czech Republic.
An allegorical masterpiece from Klimt’s late period, exploring the awakening of female sexuality, youth, and the transition into womanhood. At the composition's heart lies a sleeping maiden surrounded by a swirling bouquet of intertwined female figures, enveloped in vibrant floral motifs and lush decorative fabrics. The painting brilliantly evokes the realm of dreams, subconscious desire, and innocence, capturing the endless cyclical nature of life, beauty, and rebirth.
