81:. Klimt was one of the founding artists of the Vienna Secession, who championed Art Nouveau over the more "academic" style of the time. The organization began in May of 1897, promoting freedom of artistic expression and hoping to elevate the artistic taste of Austria. In fact, Klimt was the group's guiding light.

Before 1904, Klimt had a contract with Vienna
University for the creation of three ceiling paintings for the school. The symbolic nature of these paintings wasn't well received by the university, so Klimt decided to end his contract. Jewish factory owner August Lederer purchased these three works and

To the far right of these three figures is a white square, perhaps depicting a mantle. It too bears legible brushstrokes and is illuminated by a candle set upon it. These vivid brushstrokes throughout the painting also impact the way in which the eye is drawn to
Schubert. He is the only figure in the

Many of Klimt's patrons were Jewish, as were many of the owners of his works later on. In 1933, Hitler sought to purge
Germany of "degenerate artists," believing the modern art scene to be sullied by the dominance of "...Jewish dealers, gallery owners, and collectors." Rather oddly, the Third Reich

Beside him at the piano, staring out of the painting at the viewer, is one of the three women in the work. Some claim that this woman is one of Klimt's mistresses Marie

In the painting, Klimt depicts
Schubert at the piano, presumably in an intimate and more private drawing-room performance. Moving from left to right, we begin at the piano, smooth and glossy. Atop the piano rest candles that illuminate Schubert's music. The musician himself is off-center, fingers

held an exhibition of Klimt's art in Vienna in 1943, seeming to make an exception for an artist they deemed to be an
Austrian icon. Many of the works in this exhibition belonged to the Lederers, and after the showing, they were sent to Schloss Immendorf for secure storage.

Klimt was born in 1862 in Vienna. His father, a craftsman, encouraged Klimt to paint from an early age. Upon completing his studies at the Vienna School of
Decorative Arts in 1883, Klimt began to focus on mural painting. He worked in theaters in

Thirteen of Klimt's paintings were stored there, and in May of 1945, on the heels of German surrender, an SS unit set off explosives in the castle. Eyewitness reports stated that not a single piece of artwork survived.
