Gustav Klimt took up landscape painting purely for his own pleasure, yet these noncommissioned idyllic scenes were highly coveted by collectors. He devoted much of his summer holidays while vacationing on the Attersee to such works and favored a square format—a reflection of his amateur pursuit of photography.
PS: The Klimt Gallery will reopen on November 12, 2026 with the debut of the “25th Anniversary Exhibition.” We look forward to welcoming visitors back in the fall to see the iconic works of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and more.
