Hope II ☲ Klimt ☱ Art Print
Hope II (1908) by Gustav Klimt was the second of his works to focus on a pregnant woman, both depicting Herma, one of his favorite models. She is wearing a cloak decorated with a mosaic of circle and oval shapes, bowing her head towards her bare breasts and pregnant belly. A human skull appears behind her stomach, while at the foot of the painting three women also bow their heads, as if praying or mourning. This juxtaposition possibly represents the dangers of childbirth, serving as a memento mori or symbolic of the cycle of life and death.

Art prints are created from a giclée print on archival heavyweight paper that can be mounted in a frame. Different paper finishes allow you to customize the appearance: smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish. Framed prints do not come with protective glass / glazing, to showcase the paper and reduce light reflection (it is available upon request).
