Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was the undisputed king of golden, ornamental excess — and we mean that as the highest possible compliment. The Austrian Symbolist painter whose work defined the Vienna Secession movement created some of the most visually arresting and emotionally charged imagery in the history of Western art. His iconic The Kiss, his golden portraits, his shimmering, jewel-toned compositions — all of it translates into cross stitch with a richness and depth that makes every finished piece look like it belongs in a museum.
