Before The Kiss: Klimt’s Early Work


Listen Later

Ever wonder what sparked Gustav Klimt's genius? Come with me on One Man Museum as we step back to 1885, before the glitter of The Kiss. We'll discover three paintings hidden in Rijeka, in Teatro Comunale, where young Klimt first poured his heart onto the canvas. Through Saint Cecilia, the tragic Orpheus and Eurydice, and the passionate Mark Antony and Cleopatra, these rarely-seen treasures show us a master in the making.
