THE BEAUTY OF TRANQUILITY PORTRAIT OF FRIEDERIKE MARIA BEER VASE WITH WOODEN BASE
LIMITED EDITION: 88 PCS

Story

The Beauty of Tranquility – Portrait of Friederike Maria Beer Design sculptured porcelain vase This vase draws on Portrait of Friederike Maria Beer, a 1916 painting by Gustav Klimt, an Austrian symbolist painter. It is said that Friederike’s fiancé wanted to give her a string of pearls but she requested a portrait by Klimt instead. The painting features Friederike clad in a colorful fur coat, which was considered fashionable a hundred years ago, with a backdrop of imaginary figures fighting on horseback. An Oriental vase owned by Klimt provided the inspiration for the warriors, their presence creating a sharp contrast between the clamor of field and the stillness of the central figure. The harmonious palette, however, shows a balanced mix of traditional techniques and modern approaches, revealing a wonderful interplay of East-West aesthetics. This intriguing vase reflects the diversity of the universe, transporting the viewer through time to seek eternal beauty. Whoever wants to know something about me – as an artist which alone is significant – they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognize what I am and what I want. – Gustav Klimt
