A remarkable exhibition to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Gustav Klimt's birth (1862-2012), an exceptional cycle of paintings, rare and precious drawings, furniture and elegant jewelry, but also elaborate reconstructions and interesting historical documents, whose purpose is to introduce the visitor to the genesis and evolution, in both architecture and painting, of Klimt’s work and of those who gave rise to the Viennese Secession, an instance of that European Modernism that witnessed among its key players such figures as Minne, Jan Toorop, Fernand Khnopff, Koloman Moser, and above all the companion of many intellectual ventures and projects, Josef Hoffmann.

On display in the rooms of the Correr, alongside the Beethoven Frieze (1901-1902) and the decorations for Brussels’ Stoclet Palaceabove, will be the Judith I (1901) and the Judith II (1909), together for the first time, which were acquired at the 1910 Biennale for the  Galleria Nazionale Moderna di Ca’ Pesaro, alongside some of the masterpieces from the Vienna Belvedere, the institution owning the largest collection of Klimt’s oils on canvas, and others from public and private collections, including the Lady by the Fireplace (1897/98), Lovers (1901/1902), Portrait of Hermine Gallia (1904), The Sunflower (1907).
