INSPIRED BY

MÄDA PRIMAVESI

1912–1913, oil on canvas
Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC

Mäda Primavesi was the daughter of an actress and a banker living in Vienna, Austria. Gustav Klimt painted both the 9-year-old and her mother, Eugenia. Klimt made numerous sketches for this portrait, experimenting with different poses, outfits and backgrounds before showing Mäda in a dress made especially for her, bathed in springlike patterns (primavera is Italian for spring).

GUSTAV KLIMT (1862–1918)

Austrian painter and graphic artist. The most prominent representative of the Viennese Secession. The atmosphere in his art was undoubtedly influenced by symbolists. He made women the leading motif in his paintings, immortalizing them through his work. Rich ornamentation reminiscent of Byzantine splendor and a bold use of color are the hallmarks of his artistic legacy.
