The Concept of the Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol found in various theologies, philosophies, and mythologies. It represents the connection between heaven and earth, as well as the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In Klimt's painting, the tree stands tall and strong, its branches reaching out to embrace the universe.
The Stoclet Frieze
The Tree of Life, Stoclet Friezeis part of a series of three mosaics known as the Stoclet Frieze. Commissioned by Adolphe Stoclet for his palace in Brussels, Belgium, these panels depict swirling patterns, a standing female figure, and an embracing couple. Klimt's innovative use of gold leaf adds a rich, luxurious quality to the work, enhancing its symbolic power.
