The painting called The Bell Tower was painted by the famous Art Nouveau painter Gustav Klimt . If you are familiar with Klimt's work, this work might surprise you that it is by Klimt, as it is not entirely typical of him. Klimt was very fond of using bright colors in his works, which we do not find in this painting. The whole image is covered in light tones.

The main dominant feature of the painting is a man who is currently pulling the rope with both hands to swing the bell, which is not captured in the work. The body of a strong and muscular man is painted only as an outline, not filled with colors, which can appear as a mere outline. Behind the figure are various colored shades that look like colored dust floating in the air.

Prevailing color of this fine art print is b&W and its shape is tall. This image is printed on demand - you can choose material, size and finishing.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). As a painter, Klimt represents the best period of Vienna – a time when the works of Sigmund Freud or Mahler were developing, and Vienna was at the very least the Central European centre of culture and education. Klimt’s work combines symbolism and Byzantine features that create the undertone of his Art Nouveau style. Klimt’s images have a special, even anxious, atmosphere that often shows the Freudian idea of ​​erotica in any human movement and action. Klimt paints two-dimensionally, with intense colour while at the same time very gently and with refined dignity. Among Klimt’s famous works are the Water Snakes - two women with stylized, interwoven bodies that evoke the surreal world of fantasy and sensuality. Another masterpiece is Danae, a work inspired by Greek mythology, depicting a girl seized by Zeus, who was turned into a golden rain (Danae later gave birth to Perseus). His paintings often aroused passions and public protests, not only for their content but also for the innovative painting methods - eg. The Girlfriends, an image of two women at a romantic meeting.
