Attersee 1900

"Attersee" is a 1900 painting by Gustav Klimt, known for its serene depiction of a still lake. The water is rendered in shades of blue and green, capturing the gentle ripples and reflections of the sky above. This artwork exemplifies Klimt's early interest in landscape painting and his mastery of color and light. The absence of figures or other distractions allows the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the tranquility of the scene. This painting, created during Klimt's early career, predates his more famous works like "The Kiss" and "Judith and Holofernes", and offers a glimpse into his artistic journey.
