Hygieia (1907) by Gustav Klimt

Hygieia — Gustav Klimt (1907)

A guardian of health in red and gold: frontal, impassive, and haloed by ornament. This fine-art reproduction—after Klimt’s iconic figure of Hygieia—glows with the luxe geometry of his Golden Period: mosaic-like pattern, serpentine line, and symbolic attributes that turn a classical goddess into a modern icon.

Why it captivates

• Golden opulence — luminous ochres and metallic tones create a rich, radiant presence.

• Symbol & style — the Aesculapian serpent and libation bowl meet Vienna Secession design.

• Graphic power — frontal pose, strong contour, and dense pattern read across a room.

• Art Nouveau elegance — organic curves entwined with crisp, geometric motifs.

• Statement format — vertical composition that anchors a space with poise.

What you’ll see

Hygieia stands frontally, holding a shallow bowl as the serpent of Aesculapius coils upward. Her robe and the background bloom with tessellated patterns—rectangles, spirals, and florals—set in deep reds, blacks, and golds. The surface shimmers like mosaic, rewarding both distance and close-up study.

A richer historical frame

Created at the height of Klimt’s Vienna Secession years, Hygieia blends Byzantine-inspired gold ground, flattened space, and symbolist iconography. The result is both devotional and modern: a classical personification distilled into pure ornament, line, and meaning.
