The Virgin III – Klimt

The Virgin III Klimt tapestry is based on the famous controversial painting from 1913 by Gustav Klimt. In this piece we see 6 virgins or young ladies in an embrace, surrounded by flowers which represents fertility and beauty in a piece also known as The Maiden or Die Jungfrau. The Austrian master and symbolist painter produced many works based on women and their various times of life and here in this masterful piece we see his typical style of allegory, symbolism to represent reproduction and reemergence of life, in a way shich is simply stunning. The original art work, an oil on canvas is in the National Gallery in Prague, Prague in the Czech Republic. This art tapestry The Virgin III Klimt is backed with a lining and a tunnel for easy hanging.
