Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 22 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 24.4 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 40.7 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Klimt's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 178 × 198 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome, Italy. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Gustav Klimt's "The Three Ages of Woman" is an evocative masterpiece that seamlessly intertwines the themes of life, time, and human fragility. Created in 1905, this painting is a poignant portrayal of the stages of a woman's life, embodied by three distinct figures: a young child, a serene mother, and an aged woman.

The composition is strikingly vertical, drawing the viewer's eye upwards from the old woman to the youthful child. The old woman, frail and bent, with her hand covering her face in a gesture of sorrow or resignation, stands in stark contrast to the central figure—a mother cradling her child. This central figure exudes a tender warmth, her head adorned with a garland of flowers, symbolizing fertility and life. The child, nestled in her arms, represents innocence and potential, the beginning of life's journey.

Klimt's use of color and texture is masterful. The golden hues and intricate patterns in the mother’s and child’s garments create a rich tapestry, emphasizing their vitality and connection. The old woman's dull, almost monochromatic body highlights her isolation and the inevitable decline of life. The background, a mosaic of geometric shapes and organic forms, is quintessentially Klimt, melding his fascination with Byzantine art and the Secessionist movement.

The juxtaposition of youth and age, life and decay, is both beautiful and melancholic. Klimt’s ability to capture the essence of human existence in such a vivid and ornate manner is a testament to his genius. "The Three Ages of Woman" is not just a painting; it's a profound meditation on the passage of time and the transient nature of life.
