Portrait of Emilie Flöge 1902

Gustav Klimt's 1902 "Portrait of Emilie Flöge" is a captivating example of the artist's signature style. This oil painting showcases the artist's muse, Emilie Flöge, adorned in a lavish, intricately patterned gown. The use of rich, jewel-toned colors and the application of gold leaf, a hallmark of Klimt's work, creates a sense of opulence and refinement. The work's flat, decorative quality reflects the influence of Art Nouveau, while the stylized figures and the ornate details are characteristic of Klimt's unique approach to portraiture. The painting is currently on display at the Vienna Museum in Vienna, Austria.
