End of Wall, Stoclet Frieze by Gustav Klimt Clipboard

End of Wall, Stoclet Frieze (1905-1911) by Gustav Klimt is a vintage Art Nouveau painting featuring a mosaic geometric pattern in gold tones. The Stoclet Frieze is a series of Symbolism panels and Gustav Klimt's last great mural work. They were painted in the dining room of the Palais Stoclet in Brussels from 1905-1911. The panels of Klimt's frieze contain abstract motifs, stylized ones (Tree of Life) and figured ones (Fulfillment and Expectation). The girl dancing under the Tree of Life represents Expectation. The couple embracing beneath the Tree of Life represents Fulfillment. The black bird of prey sitting in the Tree of Life represents death.
