The epitome of truth is death. Our all anxieties, insecurities in life, desires, failures all come to a halt with death.
We may philosophize or fantasize death, but there is no denying that no one can ever escape the cold hands of the grim reaper.
Poets, painters, musicians or scientists, all express death in many unique ways. One such representation is Gustav Klimt’s Death and Life – a painting which was honored with a first prize at the 1911 International Art Exhibition in Rome.
Klimt believed that this was his most important figurative work.
