Product information "Gustav Klimt: Picture 'Malcesine on Lake Garda' (1913), framed"
The Austrian painter Gustav Klimt only discovered landscape painting in his late work. One of his many journeys took Klimt to Lake Garda in Italy in 1913. It was here that he painted this view of the town of Malcesine with its densely packed houses and a small harbour. As in many of his landscape paintings, Klimt also stuck to a square format here. This framing also meant that he only depicted the walls and the lower part of the tower of a castle that significantly characterises the image of the town. For the perspective depicted, the painter would actually have had to be on a boat. However, as it is known that Klimt often used a telescope for his landscape observations, it is also possible that he was looking at Malcesine from a great distance.Original: 1913, oil on canvas, burnt at Immendorf Castle in Lower Austria in 1945.
