Adam and Eve
by KLIMT, Gustav, Oil on canvas, 173 x 60 cm
Klimt’s late works reveal a new emphasis on compositional intricacy and elaborate structuring devices which also characterizes his last allegorical paintings, including Leda (1917; destroyed), Adam and Eve (c. 1917 , Belvedere, Vienna) and The Bride (1917-18; Belevedere, Vienna).
