The Virgin Italian Tapestry
The Virgin by Klimt is an Italian jacquard woven wall tapestry. The artwork comes from a painting by Gustav Klimt completed circa 1913. In this surreal composition the entanglement of women has lost any realism, and thus all is absorbed in the decorative scheme. The association of beauty with such unnatural poses, indicates an allusion to life's ephemeral nature, a reflection of modern society.
