About the piece

Painted in 1903, this work by Gustav Klimt showcases his transition toward a more decorative and symbolic style. The towering poplar, executed with a vibrant, pointillist-inspired technique, dominates the composition against a moody, atmospheric sky that captures the quiet electric charge before a thunderstorm.
