Bewegte Wasser 1898

"Bewegte Wasser" (Moving Water) is an oil on canvas painting by Austrian symbolist artist Gustav Klimt, created in 1898. This work exemplifies Klimt's early style, characterized by flowing lines, muted colors, and a dreamlike atmosphere. The painting depicts three nude female figures, their bodies seemingly submerged in a swirling, abstract sea of water. Klimt's use of soft, pastel hues and subtle brushstrokes adds to the ethereal quality of the composition, evoking a sense of mystery and sensuality.
