About the artwork

This work is a digital adaptation of the painting The Virgin by the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, where the original colour palette has given way to golden colour highlights. The Virgin occupies a special place in Klimt's oeuvre. It has an important Secession theme as its motif - the relationship between beauty and impermanence, youth and mortality, the celebration of young life and the phenomenon of a woman's existence. Klimt painted it in his later creative period, when the theme of the "femme fatale" gave way to the dreamlike sensuality of a young girl. His virtuoso drawing was combined with stylised, planned abbreviations and quickly applied intense colours. The Virgin is imbued with one of the finest expressions of Klimt's eroticism. The girl sleeps peacefully under a blanket decorated with flowers and spirals. For Klimt, someone who sleeps is not responsible for his desires. He therefore depicted an innocent virgin held captive by her sweet and luxuriant dreams. About the image-maker: as a born and bred Amsterdammer, Peter feels a close connection to the city of Amsterdam. Over the years, he has captured the city of Amsterdam in many iconic works. In addition, he has also earned his spurs as a digital artist, especially with adaptations of old masters (Vincent van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt van Rijn) that he has given a modern twist and fit perfectly into a modern interior, such as this unique work, among others. Peters' work is widely sold and hangs on walls in various European countries.
