Women full of desire in the Beethoven frieze, after the work of Gustav Klimt The Beethoven frieze is a painting by Viennese artist Gustav Klimt, aka the Golden Boy. He painted this work in 1902 for the14th Vienna Secession exhibition. The frieze was applied directly to the wall as a fresco. Meanwhile, the Beethoven frieze is permanently visible in the Secession building, which is located at the edge of Karlsplatz and the beginning of Naschmarkt in Vienna. It was where the artists of the Secession movement, the Austrian variant of Art Nouveau, came together, and the frieze illustrates the eternal search for happiness in a stormy world. In this collage, we see the section of women full of desire, left next to the singing choir of angels and the intimate embrace and kiss. The work, which falls under the Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil and Wiener Sesession, movement, is decorative and ornate in nature and bears Klimt's signature gold.
