Mother and Child

“Mother and Child,”  also known as “The Three Ages of Woman,”  is one of the most significant artworks by Gustav Klimt, created in 1905. It was the first large-scale oil painting created by the artist. It features three female figures. Infancy, motherhood, and old age are said to be the three primary periods of a woman’s life. However, the “Mother and Child” part of the masterpiece creates more positive feelings in the viewer.

Gustav Klimt is renowned for numerous works that examine the transformations that women experience, some of which are affected by society.

This particular piece was created specifically for the birth of our first granddaughter “Kaia”. It hangs in her nursery.
