The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II is a stunning painting created by the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt in 1912. This masterpiece was sold for an impressive $88 million at Christie’s New York in 2006, making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold.
Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Muse
Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II is a portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, a Vienna socialite who was a patron and close friend of Klimt. She was the only model to be painted twice by Klimt, with the first portrait completed in 1907.
Klimt's Artistic Style
Klimt is known for his unique style that combines elements of symbolism, Art Nouveau, and decorative arts. His works often feature gold leaf, which adds a rich and luxurious feel to the painting. The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II is no exception, with its intricate patterns and use of gold leaf creating a mesmerizing effect.
The History Behind the Painting
During World War II, both portraits were among the artworks stolen by the Nazis from the family of Bloch-Bauer. After a long legal battle, the paintings were returned to the Bloch-Bauer heirs in 2006. The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II was then sold at auction for the record-breaking price.
