Fact

Did you know?

Painted in 1905, “The Three Ages of Woman” brings together in the same composition a child, a young woman and an elderly woman. Gustav Klimt evokes birth, maturity, aging and the passage of time using symbolic figures surrounded by decorative motifs. The work belongs to Klimt's so-called Golden Phase, even if gold is less dominant than in “The Kiss”. It received a gold medal at the International Exhibition in Rome in 1911 and is now held at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome.
