Judith II (Salome)
To scale 30 x 14 in on the wall
Representative Hand-applied gesso embellishment
About the Artwork
Created during Klimt's later Golden Period, this work represents the artist's continued fascination with the femme fatale archetype, though scholars debate whether the subject depicts the biblical Judith or the New Testament's Salome. Painted just three years before his death, Judith II demonstrates Klimt's evolution from the heavily ornamented style of his earlier mythological works toward a more emotionally direct approach. The painting was completed during Vienna's cultural zenith, when Klimt led the Secession movement and challenged academic traditions. This psychological intensity reflects the broader European anxiety of the pre-war period, as artists increasingly explored themes of sexuality, death, and the unconscious mind that would soon be formalized in Freudian theory.
