The Maiden is a symbolic work by Gustav Klimt that depicts a young woman in a dream. She is seen as imagining the unfolding of different versions of herself. Her Art Nouveau style is easily recognisable with its asymmetrical shapes, flowing lines and floral pattern.
Klimt's depiction of the female form represents the sensual and often erotic nature of the female spirit and its ability to change and expand, just like nature and the universe itself.
Today, he is acclaimed for the emancipation of women. However, during his lifetime, much of his work was considered by many to be distasteful and provocative, as it did not adhere to the conservative views of late 19th century society.

Description
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an Austrian symbolist and the leader of the art nouveau group Vienna Secession. Artistically gifted from a young age, he made a living as a painter of architectural decorations before developing his own very unique style. Many of his work was centred around the female form - even being considered somewhat pornographic in his time - and extensive use of metallic gold in his palette of colour. The son of a gold engraver, Klimt incorporated the use of gold leaf into his later works.
