Description
Created in 1913, Kirche in Cassone is a magnificent example of Gustav Klimt's ability to synthesize architectural and natural forms. With this painstaking recreation, you can own a storied milestone in the career of this great artist. His typical style of decorative patterning and meticulous structure can be seen here alongside the influences of Monet and other Impressionists, especially in the water. A turning point in his career, Kirche in Cassone marks a movement away from his earlier more playful landscapes towards a more geometric modern style. The eye-catching village landscape rests on the edge of Lake Garda in Italy, where the artist was spending time with his muse Emilie Floge. The painting was thought lost for decades after being hidden away to avoid Nazi confiscation until it resurfaced in 1962. Why not own this beautiful piece of history, at a fraction of its multi-million dollar auction price? Vault W Artwork Format: Athenian Antiqued Framed
