About the piece

Painted in 1900, 'On Lake Attersee' showcases Gustav Klimt’s innovative approach to landscape. Eschewing traditional perspective, Klimt focuses on the rhythmic pattern of light reflecting off the water's surface, creating a mosaic-like effect in shades of turquoise and soft grey. This square-format masterpiece reflects a tranquil, modern study of nature that remains one of the artist's most beloved environmental works.
